3-Methylsalicylic acid

Description:

3-Methylsalicylic acid, with the CAS number 83-40-9, is an aromatic compound that belongs to the class of salicylic acids. It features a methyl group attached to the third carbon of the salicylic acid structure, which consists of a benzene ring with both a hydroxyl (-OH) and a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether, but less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic methyl group. 3-Methylsalicylic acid exhibits properties characteristic of phenolic compounds, including potential antioxidant activity. It can participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and acylation, making it useful in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical applications. Additionally, it may have biological significance, as derivatives of salicylic acid are known for their roles in plant defense mechanisms and potential therapeutic effects in humans. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.

3-Methylsalicylic acid

CAS: 83-40-9

3-Methylsalicylic acid is a naturally occurring carboxylate that has been shown to be an inhibitor of the hydrogenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. 3-Methylsalicylic acid inhibits the binding of benzyl groups to intramolecular hydrogen and hydroxyl groups, which are required for the formation of a covalent bond. The antiproliferative effect of 3-methylsalicylic acid on cancer cells is due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis by blocking the enzyme carboxylase. 3-Methylsalicylic acid also has anti-inflammatory properties and can be used as an antiseptic and analgesic.
