Product Information

• Name: Ethyl 5-amino-3-methyl-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ethyl 5-amino-3-methyl-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate is a drug that inhibits the activity of 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid, an enzyme involved in energy metabolism. It has been shown to bind to and inhibit a number of other enzymes, including carboxylase, decarboxylase, and transferase. This drug is used as an antimicrobial agent against pandemic influenza and other respiratory infections. The drug binds to the carboxylate group of the enzyme's active site and coordinates with the metal ion via its benzoate moiety. The coumarin derivative may be responsible for the observed inhibition by binding to a different site on the enzyme or by interacting with a second molecule of ethyl 5-amino-3-methyl-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate.
