Description

The o-carboxyphenylacetic acid cyclic anhydride (OCPA) is a compound that has been shown to have antimicrobial activity. It inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to the receptor site of bacterial enzymes and blocking the synthesis of fungal cell walls. OCPA can also be used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as cancer and arthritis. The mode of action for OCPA is not well understood but it is believed that it may interfere with amine metabolism or act as a hydrogen bond acceptor. Analysis of OCPA has been done using analytical methods such as gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and infrared spectroscopy (IR).
