2-methoxybenzoic acid

2-Methoxybenzoic acid (o-Anisic acid) is a novel antiemetic which prevents nausea and vomiting in humans.

2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid (2-Hydroxy-p-anisic Acid) is a predicted metabolite generated by BioTransformer1 that is produced by the metabolism of 3-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)propanoic acid. It is generated by unspecified-gutmicro enzyme via a beta-oxidation-of-carbxoylic-acid reaction. This beta-oxidation-of-carbxoylic-acid occurs in human gut microbiota.

It is an isomer of cresotinic acid (2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzoic acid) and oxymethylbenzoic acid (2-methoxybenzoic acid). Derivatives of mandelic acid are formed as a result of metabolism of adrenaline and noradrenaline by monoamine oxidase and catechol-o-methyl transferase. It is also present in certain skin care products, is an intermediate molecule in the production of other biochemicals, may be used as an analytical reagent and is a precursor in the manufacture of dyes. Mandelic acid (acidomandelico) is found to be associated with phenylketonuria, which is an inborn error of metabolism.

2-Hydroxy-6-methoxybenzoic acid (6-Methoxysalicylic acid) may be employed as internal standard for the determination of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin, ASA) and its major metabolite, salicylic acid (SA),and exhibits significant analgesic effects

2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid potassium (Standard) is the standard substance of 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid potassium, and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid potassium (4-Methoxysalicylic acid potassium) is a principal component of the [plant], exhibiting multiple biological effects that include anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antioxidative, and antidiabetic properties.

3-O-Methylgallic acid (3,4-Dihydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid) reduces cell proliferation in Caco-2 cells (IC50 = 24.1 μM) more effectively than anthocyanins and may offer protection against colon cancer after its formation in the gut. It inhibits transcription factors NF-κB, AP-1, STAT-1, and OCT-1, which are known to be activated in colorectal cancer.

2-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid glucose ester shows a potent antagonistic activity against platelet activating factor (PAF), it can prevent the mice from the PAF-induced death at a dose of 300 micrograms/mouse.
