Butanoic acid, 4-[(7-chloro-4-quinolinyl)amino]-

Description:

Butanoic acid, 4-[(7-chloro-4-quinolinyl)amino]- is a chemical compound characterized by its butanoic acid backbone, which is a four-carbon carboxylic acid. The presence of a 7-chloro-4-quinolinyl group indicates that it contains a quinoline moiety, a bicyclic structure known for its aromatic properties and biological activity. The amino group attached to the quinoline enhances its potential for forming hydrogen bonds, which can influence its solubility and reactivity. This compound may exhibit various biological activities, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the development of antimicrobial or anticancer agents. Its structural features suggest that it could interact with biological targets through mechanisms such as enzyme inhibition or receptor binding. Additionally, the chlorine substituent may affect its lipophilicity and overall pharmacokinetic properties. As with many organic compounds, its stability, reactivity, and interactions with other substances will depend on environmental conditions such as pH and temperature.
