Description

2-Biphenylcarboxylic acid (2BCA) is a metabolite of biphenyl. The hydroxyl group on 2BCA binds to the receptor, producing an antihypertensive effect. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of metabolic disorders and diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and heart disease. 2BCA is also effective in the treatment of tumors because it inhibits tumor cell growth by binding to fatty acids. This drug forms hydrogen bonds with other molecules due to its hydroxyl group and can be synthesized through a Suzuki coupling reaction.
2BCA has been found to have an inhibitory effect on prostaglandin synthesis through the p2 receptor activity.
