Description

2-Hydroxy-3-isopropyl-6-methylbenzoic acid is a synthetic compound that has been used in pharmaceutical preparations. It is a reaction product of salicylic acid, nitrobenzene, and diethylaminoethyl nitrite. The reaction system is designed to produce an injectable solution of 2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-6-methylbenzoic acid. This drug has shown potential as an antihistamine and as a treatment for malaria.
2-Hydroxy-3-isopropyl-6-methylbenzoic acid binds to plasma proteins by coordination chemistry, which may cause the drug to be less effective in vivo. It also reacts with quinine to form quinine hydrochloride and hydroquinone, which are both insoluble. As 2HIBMA is not soluble in water, it can be injected into the body as an oily solution or dissolved in aqueous
