Description

5-Methoxy-2-nitrobenzoic acid is a compound that has been shown to have antiinflammatory properties. It has been found to inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators such as leukotrienes and prostaglandins. 5-Methoxy-2-nitrobenzoic acid also inhibits certain enzymes, such as cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase, which are involved in the biosynthesis of these mediators. 5-Methoxy-2-nitrobenzoic acid may be useful in the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as arthritis or asthma. This drug can also be used for chemoprevention against cancer. The drug has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells in vivo by oral administration. This is due to its ability to inhibit DNA synthesis and protein synthesis in cells by binding with DNA and inhibiting RNA synthesis through inhibition of ribonucleotide reductase.
