Acides benzoïques

2,4-Dihydroxy-3-methylbenzoic acid (2,4-DMB) is a potent compound that has been shown to have chemotherapeutic properties. It is a DNA repair agent that also inhibits the activity of topoisomerase II and DNA polymerase III. 2,4-DMB can be used in the treatment of radiation and ionizing radiation induced cancers. The pharmacophore of 2,4-DMB has been identified as being composed of three hydrophobic regions and one hydrophilic region. This pharmacophore has been used to design other potent compounds with similar activity against cancer cells.

2-(4'-Chlorobenzoyl)benzoic acid (2-CBA) is a sulfa drug that inhibits bacterial growth by blocking the synthesis of folic acid. It is also known to be luminescent and can be used in techniques such as luminescent probes. 2-CBA has antibacterial activity and can inhibit bacterial growth in a chromatographic method. 2-CBA is chemically stable and has been shown to have antibacterial properties against gram-positive bacteria, including Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. 2-CBA also has the ability to react with phthalazinone, an inhibitor of glutamine synthetase, which is involved in the production of ATP from ADP. This reaction results in the formation of an unstable intermediate which decomposes into CO2 and benzoic acid.

2-Methyl-6-nitrobenzoic acid is a yellow needle solid that is soluble in organic solvents. It is used as a reagent to prepare other chemicals and has been shown to react with sodium hydrogen sulfate, chloride, and sulfuric acid to form 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid. The mixture of 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoic acid and sodium hydrogen sulfate reacts violently with chlorine gas or argon. This reaction solution can be evaporated by heating at atmospheric pressure or under vacuum, leaving 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid behind. 2MBA can also be purified by filtration or recrystallization from a suitable solvent such as chloroform or ether.

2,4,6-Trimethoxybenzoic acid (TMB) is a monomer that belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenols. It can undergo dehydrogenation reactions with nitroethane in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid and catalytic amounts of hydrogen gas. TMB has been shown to interact with an allyl group in other molecules. The reaction system was studied under different flow rates and was found to be best described by an isotherm equation.

4-Mercaptobenzoic acid is a receptor antagonist that binds to the benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor and blocks the action of GABA. This drug has been shown to be useful in tissue culture studies, where it inhibits the growth of cells by interfering with cell division. 4-Mercaptobenzoic acid has also been shown to inhibit sodium citrate uptake into human red blood cells in vitro, which may be due to its ability to bind with hydrogen bonding interactions or ionic interactions. 4-Mercaptobenzoic acid enhances pluronic p123 and fetal bovine serum as a substrate for tissue culture cells, which may be due to its ability to inhibit inhibitor molecules.

2-Amino-6-chlorobenzoic acid is a fine chemical that is used as a reagent or speciality chemical.

o-Sulfobenzoic acid anhydride is a chemical that belongs to the class of inorganic acids. It is a white crystalline solid with a melting point of 107°C and can be found in its pure form or as sodium salts. o-Sulfobenzoic acid anhydride is stable when exposed to light and can be used in detergent compositions. It also has pharmacokinetic properties, which are affected by the presence of cationic polymers. This chemical is metabolized by microorganisms through hydrogen bonding interactions and has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against infectious bacteria, such as erythromycin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Methyl 4,5-dimethoxy-3-hydroxybenzoate is a synthetic chemical that inhibits the enzyme tectorigenin reductase. Tectorigenin reductase is responsible for the production of tectorigenin, a phytoestrogen found in plants such as china. Methyl 4,5-dimethoxy-3-hydroxybenzoate was shown to inhibit the activity of platelets from human blood and has been studied for its pharmacological properties. The thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of methyl 4,5-dimethoxy-3-hydroxybenzoate have been determined using gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It exists as both an enantiomeric mixture and racemic mixture.

3,4-Dinitrobenzoic acid is a nitrobenzoic acid that has a hydrogen bond. 3,4-Dinitrobenzoic acid is activated by the loss of a proton and it reacts with amines to form diazonium salts. It can be found in plants and animals as an intermediate in the metabolism of tyrosine and tryptophan. 3,4-Dinitrobenzoic acid is used in analytical chemistry to detect the presence of amines. The functional groups on 3,4-dinitrobenzoic acid are carboxylic acid and nitro. Ribulose is an example of a molecule containing these functional groups.

2,5-Dichlorobenzoic acid is a hydrogen-bonding agent that interacts with other molecules by forming hydrogen bonds. It reacts with benzoate to form 2,5-dichlorobenzoate, which is an intermediate in the synthesis of phenylbenzene and biphenyl. 2,5-Dichlorobenzoic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria such as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The compound also lowers cholesterol levels in rats and humans.
2,5-Dichlorobenzoic acid has a redox potential of -0.25 V and can be used to reduce sodium hydroxide solution or hydroxide solution. This chemical's structure allows it to be taken up by cells through passive diffusion and active transport mechanisms.
