• Description: 2,4,6-Trimethylbenzoic acid is a molecule that belongs to the class of carboxylates. It has been shown to exhibit anticarcinogenic properties in patients with cervical cancer. 2,4,6-Trimethylbenzoic acid inhibits the growth of cervical cancer cells by blocking the activation of ferrocenecarboxylic acid (FCCA). This compound also blocks the activity of hydrogen bond and nitrogen atoms that are essential for cell division and development. 2,4,6-Trimethylbenzoic acid is used as an intermediate in the production of ferrocene derivatives. It can be used for acylation reactions with aromatic or aliphatic amines under acidic conditions.
