Description

4-Acetamidobenzoic acid is an aromatic organic compound that is a precursor to many pharmaceuticals, such as acetaminophen, amoxicillin, dapsone, and sulfonamide. It is an intermediate in the formation of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid from benzoic acid. This molecule is also a component of some types of plastics. The chemical's structure and properties are determined by its coordination geometry, which consists of four nitrogen atoms and one hydroxyl group. 4-Acetamidobenzoic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of certain bacteria by interfering with their metabolic activity. It has also been found to be active against several infectious diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis. The mechanism behind its effectiveness may be due to the fact that it inhibits bacterial fatty acid synthesis or prevents the production of ATP in mitochondria cells.br>br>
