Description

2-Amino-3-nitrobenzoic acid (2ABN) is a peroxide that is used as an antiviral. 2ABN has been shown to inhibit the formation of reactive oxygen species in cancer cells, leading to apoptosis. It also inhibits the growth of carcinoma cell lines and tissues. 2ABN reacts with chloral hydrate to form a particle that can be encapsulated for delivery and release in vivo. This drug has been expressed in Escherichia coli, which may lead to improved stability and ease of production. 2ABN is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties due to its ability to inhibit the production of prostaglandins. The reactivity of 2ABN with surfactants such as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) has been shown, which leads to it being used as an emulsifying agent for topical application.
