Description

2-Amino-3-methylbenzoic acid is an organic compound with the formula H2CCH(NH2)(COOH). It is a white solid that is soluble in water. The molecule has a planar geometry, and the copper ion is coordinated by four oxygen atoms and three nitrogen atoms. This coordination geometry can be seen in the crystal structure of the molecule. 2-Amino-3-methylbenzoic acid has been shown to have antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger. It also inhibits 5-nitrosalicyclic acid and sodium carbonate, which are involved in the synthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and ATP respectively. 2-Amino-3-methylbenzoic acid has also been shown to inhibit ryanodine receptor channels, which are important for calcium release from endoplasmic reticulum.
