2-(Acetyloxy)-4-methylbenzoic acid

CAS: 14504-07-5

2-(Acetyloxy)-4-methylbenzoic acid (AMBA) is a compound that is used in the field of health care. It has been shown to have neuroprotective effects and to reduce neuronal apoptosis, which may be due to its ability to attenuate proinflammatory responses. AMBA has also been shown to inhibit the formation of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease. This compound has also shown anti-inflammatory properties and can be used as a treatment for neuroinflammation. AMBA inhibits the activation of caspases, which are responsible for initiating the apoptosis pathway by cleaving proteins necessary for cell survival, such as PARP1 or Bcl-2. The mechanism of action is not fully understood but it appears that AMBA alters mitochondrial function and reduces intracellular calcium levels.
