2-Methoxybenzoic acid

Description:

2-Methoxybenzoic acid, also known as o-methoxybenzoic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH₃) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C₈H₈O₃, and it features a molecular structure that includes a methoxy substituent at the ortho position relative to the carboxylic acid group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. 2-Methoxybenzoic acid exhibits properties typical of carboxylic acids, including the ability to form hydrogen bonds, which contributes to its acidity. It is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, its derivatives may have biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as with all chemical substances.

2-Methoxybenzoic acid is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that belongs to the group of acetate extract. This compound has been shown to inhibit the production of prostaglandin E2 by inhibiting cyclooxygenase activity. 2-Methoxybenzoic acid also acts as an antagonist at serotonin 5HT1A receptors, which are involved in the regulation of mood and cognition. It is a competitive inhibitor of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, natural compounds, and protocatechuic acid with hydrogen bond interactions. 2-Methoxybenzoic acid also binds to tissue culture cells and inhibits cell growth through receptor binding.
