Description

4-Aminomethylbenzoic acid (4AMBA) is a metabolite that is formed from the amino acid methionine. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. 4-Aminomethylbenzoic acid inhibits the activity of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which is an enzyme that catalyzes DNA replication. The hydroxyl group on 4-aminomethylbenzoic acid reacts with one of the phosphate groups on DNA, forming a covalent bond and inhibiting DNA synthesis. This inhibition occurs at the step called initiation, where DNA synthesis begins by binding of RNA polymerase to a specific sequence of DNA. In addition, 4-aminomethylbenzoic acid also inhibits the activity of x-ray diffraction data, which is an enzyme that catalyzes RNA transcription. Histological analysis shows that 4-aminomethylbenzoic acid causes congestive heart
