Product Information

• Name: 4-Hydroxy-3-iodobenzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Hydroxy-3-iodobenzoic acid is a synthetic retinoid that is used in the synthesis of various other pharmaceutical compounds. It is also an inhibitor of bacterial growth, which may be due to its ability to bind to receptors on the bacterial cell surface. The antibiotic activity of 4-hydroxy-3-iodobenzoic acid has been demonstrated using an in vitro assay with Escherichia coli and Streptococcus pyogenes. 4-Hydroxy-3-iodobenzoic acid has also been shown to have antiestrogen properties when it competes with estradiol for receptor binding sites. This compound binds to the estrogen receptor and blocks its activity, inhibiting estrogen production by the ovaries or from other sources. Structural analysis of 4-hydroxy-3-iodobenzoic acid revealed that this compound has two functional groups: one group that interacts with nitrogen and another that binds to hydrogen or oxygen. These
