3-(4-Methoxybenzoyl)propionic acid

Ref. 3D-FM32945

Product Information

• Name: 3-(4-Methoxybenzoyl)propionic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-(4-Methoxybenzoyl)propionic acid (3-MBA) is a synthetic compound that inhibits the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine in cells, which is required for cell growth. 3-MBA has been shown to inhibit the production of influenza virus and HIV-1 in vitro. It also has potent inotropic effects on cardiac muscle tissue and may be used as an antiarrhythmic agent. 3-MBA is rapidly absorbed following oral administration and eliminated through the kidneys. 3-MBA has a low protein binding affinity, which means it can cross the blood brain barrier. This drug also binds to leukocyte antigen and hydroxy groups, leading to dehydration reactions. 3-MBA can be converted into 2,3-dihydroxypropionic acid by dehydrating agents such as phosphoric acid solution or concentrated sulfuric acid.
