Description

5-Aminoorotic acid is an antimicrobial agent that has been shown to have anticancer activity. It has a nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms in the molecule. The chemical structure of 5-aminoorotic acid can be determined using NMR spectroscopy and its biological properties are dependent on hydrogen bonding interactions with other molecules. 5-Aminoorotic acid is a chelate ring, which means it can bind to metal ions such as lanthanum (La3+). 5-Aminoorotic acid has been shown to inhibit the glycol oxidation reaction and may also be able to inhibit other enzymatic reactions. This drug is stable for use in model systems and may also be used for cancer treatment.
