2-Aminoanthraquinone is a dietary compound that inhibits the growth of fungi by inhibiting the synthesis of urea, which is an important nutrient for fungal cell growth. 2-Aminoanthraquinone has been shown to inhibit the activity of enzymes such as aliphatic hydrocarbon hydroxylase and nucleophilic attack by competitive inhibition. This chemical also has in vitro antifungal activity against Candida species and Penicillium species when used as a polymer film or topical treatment on animals. It can be used as an anticancer agent against tumor cells in mice via induction of apoptosis. 2-Aminoanthraquinone binds to penicillin-binding proteins and alters their function, leading to an increase in metabolic rate in mouse splenocytes. 2-Aminoanthraquinone also has electrochemical impedance spectroscopy properties that could be useful for monitoring changes in enzyme activity.
