Product Information

• Name: 3,5-Diiodoanthranilic acid
• Synonyms: 2-Amino-3,5-Diiodobenzoic Acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,5-Diiodoanthranilic acid is an active analog of anthranilic acid. It has been shown to scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation in cells, which may be due to its ability to react with malondialdehyde to form 3,5-dihydroxyanthranilic acid. 3,5-Diiodoanthranilic acid has also been shown to have antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The molecule's high electrophilicity makes it reactive towards the thiol group of proteins, and it has been shown to inhibit the growth of murine hepatoma cells. This molecule has also been found to exhibit vibrational and optical properties that can be attributed to its aromatic ring. The molecule's molecular electrostatic potential is low so it is not very reactive.
