2-AMINO-6-METHYLBENZOIC ACID

Description:

2-Amino-6-methylbenzoic acid, also known as 6-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. This compound features a methyl group (-CH3) at the 6-position of the benzene ring, which influences its solubility and reactivity. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of the carboxylic acid and amino functional groups. The compound exhibits properties typical of amino acids, including the ability to form salts and participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. It is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and agrochemicals. Additionally, its structural features allow it to participate in hydrogen bonding, which can affect its physical properties and interactions in biological systems.

2-Amino-6-methylbenzoic acid

CAS: 4389-50-8

2-Amino-6-methylbenzoic acid is a chemical compound that inhibits the shikimate pathway, an important metabolic pathway in plants. This chemical is an analog of 6-aminocaproic acid, a metabolite of the amino acid lysine. 2-Amino-6-methylbenzoic acid was found to inhibit the growth of plant cells and reduce protein synthesis. The compound may also regulate plant physiology by affecting the activity of growth regulators such as auxin and gibberellins. It has been shown to stimulate the release of calcium ions from ryanodine receptors in plant cells, which may be responsible for its cytotoxic effects. 2-Amino-6-methylbenzoic acid has also been used as a histochemical staining agent for proteins that are involved in protein synthesis, such as cytochromes and ribosomes.
