Production Methods
The production of tecloftalam begins with the preparation of 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorophthalic acid, which undergoes amide bond formation with 2,3-dichloroaniline under controlled conditions to yield 2,3,4,5-tetrachloro-6-[(2,3-dichlorophenyl)carbamoyl]benzoic acid. This reaction is typically carried out in organic solvents with acid catalysts to ensure high yield and purity.
Mechanism of action
It works by inhibiting bacterial growth, disrupting essential enzyme functions, and interfering with cellular metabolism
