Description

4-Amino-3-methylbenzoic acid is a chemical compound that can be synthesized from 4-Methylbenzoic acid and sodium carbonate. It has been used in the treatment of cervical cancer and leishmania. The synthesis of this drug is an example of a chemical reaction in which a carboxylic acid is reacted with sodium carbonate to give an ester and sodium bicarbonate. This process requires the use of trifluoroacetic acid. The resulting drug also has antiviral properties, as it inhibits HIV infection by blocking reverse transcriptase activity. 4-Amino-3-methylbenzoic acid was also shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis.
