Description

3,5-Diaminosalicylic acid is a potent antibacterial agent that inhibits the synthesis of bacterial cell walls by inhibiting the enzyme transpeptidase. It is also used as a preservative and stabilizer in pharmaceutical formulations. 3,5-Diaminosalicylic acid has been shown to be active against cochliobolus at an optimum concentration of 2%. The solute is stable in water or dilute acids and alkalis. However, it can be hydrolyzed by strong bases such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. Impurities such as nitro groups can be removed by washing with water or ethanol. The drug substance should be analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods to ensure stability and purity. 3,5-Diaminosalicylic acid forms crystalline needles that are colorless to white in solution. They will dissolve when heated but form precipitates when cooled. The crystals are
