2-Amino-5-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

2-Amino-5-methylbenzoic acid, also known as 5-methyl-2-aminobenzoic acid, is an aromatic amino acid characterized by the presence of both an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to a benzene ring. The molecular structure features a methyl group (-CH3) at the 5-position and an amino group at the 2-position of the benzoic acid framework. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, reflecting its polar functional groups. It exhibits properties typical of amino acids, such as the ability to form zwitterions in solution, which can influence its reactivity and interactions. 2-Amino-5-methylbenzoic acid is often used in biochemical research and as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and dyes. Its unique structure allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, making it a valuable compound in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.

2-Amino-5-methylbenzoic acid is an anthranilic acid derivative that has been shown to have potent antitumor activity. It inhibits the growth of cancer cells and is effective against light emission. 2-Amino-5-methylbenzoic acid blocks the production of porphyrins, which are necessary for the production of heme, a cofactor in many enzymes. The compound also inhibits serine protease, which is involved in tumor cell proliferation and metastasis.
2-Amino-5-methylbenzoic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of human liver cancer cells in vitro. This compound can be synthesized by a Suzuki coupling reaction with phenylacetic acid and 3-(2'-aminoethyl)aminobenzene.
