β-Propiolactone (BPL) is a small molecule alkylating agent used as a chemosterilant to inactivate viruses for vaccine development (e.g., influenza) and as a bacteriostatic agent. It is applied in both in vitro virology research and in vivo immunization studies to generate non-infectious, immunogenic preparations.
