4-Iodobutyl benzoate

4-Iodobutyl benzoate is structurally related to bicyclic heterocycles such as indole and indoline. 4-Iodobutyl benzoate is a metabolite of the drug amide and is used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, degenerative diseases, and bowel disease. 4-Iodobutyl benzoate works by inhibiting proteolytic enzymes through binding to their active sites. 4-Iodobutyl benzoate has been shown to inhibit the structural integrity of bacterial cells in culture by binding to calcium carbonate. 4-Iodobutyl benzoate also binds to the enzyme inhibitors that are produced by bacteria, causing them to lose their activity. This allows other drugs that would otherwise be ineffective against these bacteria because they do not reach their targets, such as alkylthio group antibiotics, to work more effectively.
