Description

3-(4-Methylphenyl)propionic acid is a subunit of ATPase, an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP. 3-(4-Methylphenyl)propionic acid has been shown to inhibit atpase activity in thermodynamic and mechanistic studies. It also binds to DNA gyrase and oxone, a chemical that inhibits DNA replication. 3-(4-Methylphenyl)propionic acid has been shown to be broad-spectrum antibacterial against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The drug has also been found to have antiinflammatory properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis.
