Benzamide, purified by sublimation, >=99.5%

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

Benzamide was used to study the mechanism of photocatalytic decomposition of aqueous solution of acetic acid, acetamide and acetonitrile in the presence of semiconductors. Benzamide was used to develop a robust screening method to study biotransformations using (+)-γ-lactamase enzyme.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibits poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP).

General description

Benzamide (Benzoic acid amide, BA) is an amide of benzoic acid. BA on crystallization in benzene (solvent) affords crystals suitable for X-ray analysis. Crystal structure studies suggest that its crystals are monoclinic having space group P2₁/c. Kinetics and mechanism of its reaction with hydrogen peroxide have been proposed.
