3-Amino-5-hydroxybenzoic acid

Description:
3-Amino-5-hydroxybenzoic acid, also known as 5-Hydroxyanthranilic acid, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both amino and hydroxyl functional groups attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a carboxylic acid group, which contributes to its acidic properties. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, reflecting its polar functional groups. The presence of the amino group allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including those typical of amines, while the hydroxyl group can engage in hydrogen bonding, enhancing its solubility. This compound is of interest in biochemical research and may play a role in metabolic pathways, particularly in the synthesis of certain neurotransmitters. Additionally, it may exhibit antioxidant properties due to its phenolic structure. As with many amino acids and their derivatives, it can be involved in various biological processes, making it a subject of study in pharmacology and biochemistry.
