Description

2,3-Diaminobenzoic acid is a benzimidazole derivative that is used in the treatment of microbial infections. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to their ribosomes and inhibiting protein synthesis. The reaction solution of 2,3-diaminobenzoic acid has fluorescence properties that can be used to detect contaminating substances. The conjugates formed with p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid are more soluble than those formed with hydroxybenzoic acid. 2,3-Diaminobenzoic acid is not very toxic and does not cause any detectable changes in enzyme activities or other biochemical parameters in short term exposure. It can be easily decomposed by sodium chloride into chlorine gas and hydrochloric acid, which are both highly reactive with water.
