Description

3,4-Diacetoxybenzoic acid is a tetronic acid that can be synthesized from protocatechuic acid. It has potent inhibitory activity against lipoxygenase, which is an enzyme responsible for the production of leukotrienes and other lipid compounds in the human body. 3,4-Diacetoxybenzoic acid inhibits fatty acid synthesis by inhibiting the enzyme acyl-CoA synthetase. This compound also has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Trichophyton mentagrophytes, which are both associated with skin infections. 3,4-Diacetoxybenzoic acid may also have anti-inflammatory properties due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis.
