Description

2-Amino-4-methoxybenzoic acid is a monophenolic compound that has been shown to have antioxidant properties. It is a redox potential with a pK of 7.8 and can be protonated at the phenolic hydroxyl group. 2-Amino-4-methoxybenzoic acid has been shown to inhibit the enzyme activities of histone proteins, which are enzymes that catalyze the formation of DNA from RNA. This compound also inhibits enzymes involved in amino acid synthesis such as anthranilate synthase and malic enzyme, as well as other enzymes such as phosphotransferase (PTS) and pyruvate kinase. 2-Amino-4-methoxybenzoic acid also causes inhibition of growth in phytophthora megasperma, an oomycete plant pathogen, by altering the redox potentials inside the cell membrane.
