Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]
Tribromsalan is a brominated derivative of salicylic acid. Its chemical formula is C7H5Br3O2. The compound consists of a benzene ring with three bromine atoms and a carboxyl group attached. The bromine atoms give the compound its antimicrobial properties.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
When applied topically, Tribromsalan works by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms on the skin. It does this by disrupting the cell wall of the microorganism, causing it to lose its structural integrity and eventually die.
