2-(1-Benzothiophen-4-yl)acetic acid

CAS: 2635-75-8

2-(1-Benzothiophen-4-yl)acetic acid (2BA) is a phenoxy compound that has been isolated from a variety of plants. It is also found in coal tar and oil shale. 2BA has a high activity against bacteria, fungi and viruses, but its toxicity to humans is not well understood. 2BA has shown to have antibacterial properties which may be due to the inhibitory effects on bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. It also inhibits the production of nitric oxide by inhibiting the activation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). This compound is also used as an intermediate for the synthesis of other chemicals such as salicylic acid or cinnamic acid. The chemical structure of 2BA consists of a benzene ring with two hydroxyl groups, a carboxylic acid group, and an ester linkage.
