Product Description: Isoniazid (Standard) is the analytical standard of Isoniazid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Isoniazid (INH) is a proagent and must be activated by a bacterial catalase-peroxidase enzyme KatG. Isoniazid is bactericidal to rapidly dividing mycobacteria and has anti-tuberculostatic activity[1][2][3][4].
