Description:Pamoic acid is a natural compound that has been found to exhibit antimicrobial activity against a variety of microorganisms. Pamoic acid is also used in the treatment of infectious diseases, such as leprosy, tuberculosis, and AIDS. The biological properties of pamoic acid are due to its ability to bind with peptide hormones and act as a pharmacological agent. Pamoic acid is able to inhibit the synthesis of peptide hormones by binding to their receptors on the cell surface. This inhibition can lead to immunosuppression (e.g., autoimmune diseases) and mitochondrial membrane depolarization. Pamoic acid is also able to bind with benzalkonium chloride, which may account for some of its antimicrobial activity.Pamoic acid is synthesized from pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and caproic acid by means of an enzymatic process called transamination.
