Description

Methyl 2-fluoro-5-hydroxy-4-methylbenzoate is a preclinical drug that is an antagonist of calcitonin, which is a hormone that regulates calcium. It has been shown to have enantioselective properties and to be an effective inhibitor of the calcitonin receptor. Methyl 2-fluoro-5-hydroxy-4-methylbenzoate has also been shown to decrease the activity of a particular type of protein kinase C by inhibiting the production of peptides related to this receptor. The synthesis of methyl 2-fluoro-5-hydroxy-4-methylbenzoate can be achieved in two steps from methyl 4,6,6a,7b,8a,9,10,10a-octahydroanthracene carboxylate. This compound has been shown to have pharmacophore properties that are similar to those seen in other drugs used for the treatment of osteop
