Description

2-Amino-5-methylbenzoic acid is an anthranilic acid derivative that has been shown to have potent antitumor activity. It inhibits the growth of cancer cells and is effective against light emission. 2-Amino-5-methylbenzoic acid blocks the production of porphyrins, which are necessary for the production of heme, a cofactor in many enzymes. The compound also inhibits serine protease, which is involved in tumor cell proliferation and metastasis.
2-Amino-5-methylbenzoic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of human liver cancer cells in vitro. This compound can be synthesized by a Suzuki coupling reaction with phenylacetic acid and 3-(2'-aminoethyl)aminobenzene.
