2-Amino-3-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

2-Amino-3-methylbenzoic acid, also known as o-amino-m-toluic 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. Its molecular structure features a methyl group (-CH3) positioned at the meta position relative to the amino group, which influences its chemical properties and reactivity. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid, soluble in water and organic solvents, depending on pH. It exhibits properties typical of amino acids, such as the ability to participate in acid-base reactions and form salts. The presence of the amino group allows for potential interactions in biological systems, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and biochemical research. Additionally, 2-amino-3-methylbenzoic acid can serve as a building block in organic synthesis and may be involved in various chemical reactions, including acylation and alkylation. Its CAS number, 4389-45-1, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts.

2-Amino-3-methylbenzoic acid

CAS: 4389-45-1

2-Amino-3-methylbenzoic acid is an organic compound with the formula H2CCH(NH2)(COOH). It is a white solid that is soluble in water. The molecule has a planar geometry, and the copper ion is coordinated by four oxygen atoms and three nitrogen atoms. This coordination geometry can be seen in the crystal structure of the molecule. 2-Amino-3-methylbenzoic acid has been shown to have antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger. It also inhibits 5-nitrosalicyclic acid and sodium carbonate, which are involved in the synthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and ATP respectively. 2-Amino-3-methylbenzoic acid has also been shown to inhibit ryanodine receptor channels, which are important for calcium release from endoplasmic reticulum.
