2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid (2HMB) is a natural product with tuberculostatic activity and is also used as a pharmaceutical drug. It is an enzyme inhibitor that binds to the diphenolase domain of mycobacterial cell wall hydrolases, such as lysyl oxidase and chitinase. 2HMB has been shown to be effective against cancer cells in vitro. The monosodium salt of 2HMB is more stable than the free acid form and can be used for the treatment of tuberculosis in India. 2HMB has also been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria in human serum and tissue culture.
