3-Ethylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid

CAS: 1873-52-5

3-Ethylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid is a functional derivative of hippuric acid, which is found in humans and other mammals. It is an inhibitor of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of benzoic acid to benzaldehyde and benzoin. 3-Ethylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid has been used for pharmaceutical formulations as an alternative to phenylacetic acid due to its biodegradability and neutral pH. This compound also has preservative properties, which are due to its ability to react with ionizable groups on the surface of bacteria, leading to cell death. 3-Ethylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid can be synthesized from citric or organic acids in acidic conditions.
