Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Triphenylbismuth (Ph₃Bi) is an organobismuth compound, which exhibits modest bioactivity, primarily in antimicrobial and enzyme inhibition assays. In vitro studies have shown that it inhibits the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with MIC values typically in the range of 64–128 µg/mL, and it shows moderate antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Its mechanism is thought to involve interference with thiol-containing enzymes or membrane-associated proteins. Additionally, it has been reported to inhibit metalloenzymes by binding to cysteine-rich active sites, and preliminary cytotoxicity screens have demonstrated IC₅₀ values in the 10–50 µM range against certain human cancer cell lines (e.g., HeLa and MCF-7), though these effects are not yet well-characterized in vivo.
