Description

2-Aminobenzoic acid sodium salt (2ABAS) is an antibiotic that binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and inhibits protein synthesis. 2ABAS has been shown to be effective against tetracycline-resistant bacteria and is used in the treatment of anthranilic acid-producing bacteria such as Rhodococcus equi, Actinomyces bovis, or Clostridium difficile. 2ABAS has a high affinity for tryptophan and can form hydrogen bonds with it. This drug also has been demonstrated to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, which may be due to its ability to inhibit synthase activity. 2-Aminobenzoic acid sodium salt is used as a raw material in the production of analytical methods for hydrogen bonding interactions.
