2-Amino-4-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

2-Amino-4-methylbenzoic acid, also known as p-amino-m-toluic acid, is an aromatic amino acid characterized by its carboxylic acid and amino functional groups attached to a methyl-substituted benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C8H9NO2, indicating the presence of eight carbon atoms, nine hydrogen atoms, one nitrogen atom, and two oxygen atoms. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, reflecting its polar functional groups. The presence of the amino group contributes to its basicity, while the carboxylic acid group imparts acidic properties. 2-Amino-4-methylbenzoic acid is often used in organic synthesis and can serve as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other chemical compounds. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Its melting point and specific reactivity can vary based on environmental conditions and purity, but it is generally stable under standard laboratory conditions.

CAS: 2305-36-4

2-Amino-4-methyl benzoic acid (AMBA) is a methyltransferase inhibitor. It has been shown to inhibit the enzyme in the methyl group transfer process, which is important for the synthesis of anthranilic acid, an intermediate of choline. AMBA inhibits acetylcholine production by blocking the enzyme that converts choline to acetylcholine. In addition, this compound has been shown to be a potent anticancer agent and a chemical biology tool that can be used to study protein function.
