Benzoic acid, 2-amino-6-methyl-, methyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 2-amino-6-methyl-, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl 2-amino-6-methylbenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from benzoic acid. It features an amino group (-NH2) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the benzene ring, specifically at the 2 and 6 positions, respectively. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the amino group imparts basic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including acylation and amidation. Methyl 2-amino-6-methylbenzoate is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. Its chemical behavior is influenced by both the electron-donating amino group and the electron-withdrawing carboxylate moiety, making it a versatile compound in synthetic organic chemistry.

Methyl 2-amino-6-methylbenzoate (MMAB) is a prophylactic agent that inhibits the growth of tumor cells. It is used for prophylactic treatment of patients with a syndrome in which there is an increased risk of tumor formation. MMAB inhibits the production of DNA and RNA, which are needed for cell division. The drug also inhibits the activity of ribonucleotide reductase and deoxyribonucleotide reductase, which are enzymes involved in DNA synthesis. MMAB has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells and may be useful in preventing tumors from forming.
