• Synonyms: benzamide, N-hydroxy-4-methoxy-

Description

N-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzamide is a protonated form of hydroxybenzamide. It is used as an inhibitor of reductase that catalyzes the conversion of 3-hydroxybenzoic acid to 2,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid in the biosynthesis of ribonucleotides. N-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzamide has been shown to inhibit leukemia cells in mice and inhibits the growth of mammalian cells. This compound also has a stereoselective mechanism of action, which means that it only affects one enantiomer (R or S) of the substrate. The biological activity is not fully understood, but may be due to its ability to form an anion with a negative charge.
