Description

4-Amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid is a small molecule that has been shown to inhibit the activity of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor (HER2). It is also an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are involved in the metabolism of drugs. 4-Amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid is used in vitro as an antifungal agent for Candida albicans and other pathogenic fungi. This drug inhibits the growth of cancer cells by binding to specific cell surface receptors, causing them to detach from their surroundings and die. 4-Amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid may have potential as a drug for treating metastatic colorectal cancer. The mechanism of action is not yet fully understood but it may be related to the inhibition of intermolecular hydrogen bonding and water permeability.
