4-Amino-3-bromobenzoic acid is an antibacterial agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to their ribosomes. It binds to the adenine and guanine residues in the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit, thereby preventing protein synthesis and cell division. 4-Amino-3-bromobenzoic acid has been shown to be effective against gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, but not against gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This drug has also been shown to be useful in cancer therapy and is being investigated for its ability to inhibit tumor proliferation. As an analog of phenylalanine, 4-amino-3-bromobenzoic acid can serve as a substrate for protein–protein interactions, including those that regulate DNA replication.
