Description

2-Methyl-4-nitrobenzoic acid is a synthetic drug substance. The crystalline structure of 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoic acid is polymorphic and it can be obtained in two different forms: anhydrous form and monohydrate form. The reaction yield for this compound is low, which may be due to the presence of additives or deionized water. This drug substance has a high solubility in hydroxide solutions and methylbenzene. It reacts slowly with hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution to produce 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoic acid hydrochloride and sodium benzoate, respectively. 2-Methyl-4-nitrobenzoic acid has low bioavailability due to its poor absorption from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream.
