Description

Pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid is a polycyclic aromatic compound that can be found in coal tar. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, and antifungal properties. Pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid is produced by the human body as an intermediate in the metabolism of tryptophan. This compound can also be synthesized and used to treat chronic bronchitis, which is caused by excessive mucus production and inflammation of the airways. The reaction mechanism for pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid is similar to that of other drugs that are used in respiratory therapy, such as aminophylline or acetylcysteine.

Pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid inhibits the production of inflammatory mediators, such as leukotrienes and prostaglandins, through its inhibition of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity. These compounds
