Description

5-Amino-2-methoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester is a synthetic compound that has been shown to have potential as an antibacterial. It has been found to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to DNA and preventing transcription. The selectivity for bacterial cells is due to its ability to penetrate the cell membrane, which does not occur in mammalian cells. 5-Amino-2-methoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester is synthesized from 2-(4′-aminophenyl)acetic acid and methoxymethyl chloride in two steps, with a yield of 60%.
