Description

5-Fluoro-2-methylbenzoic acid is a synthetic compound that has antiviral potency against the influenza A virus. It is the active form of 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoyl chloride, which is synthesized from a Grignard reagent and an asymmetric synthesis. 5-Fluoro-2-methylbenzoic acid has been shown to have anticancer properties in vitro, which may be due to its ability to inhibit cancer cell growth through interaction with chloride channels. This drug also inhibits the activity of dehydrogenases, which are enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of various substrates by reducing them.
