Adamantane-carboxylic acid

Adamantane-carboxylic acid is a compound with inhibitory activity against microorganisms. Although its specific target has not been clearly defined, it can inhibit Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative bacteria. It forms a 1-monoacylglycerol derivative through a direct reaction with glycidol, and exerts its antibacterial effect by mechanisms such as altering the permeability of the bacterial cell membrane. This compound can be used in the research of antibacterial agents in the food and cosmetic industries to reduce harmful microbial flora and extend the shelf life of products[1][2].
