p-aminobenzoic acid

4-aminobenzoic acid is an organic acid with UV-absorbing and antifibrotic properties. When exposed to light, 4-aminobenzoic acid absorbs UV light and releases excess energy through a photochemical reaction, which may cause DNA damage.4-aminobenzoic acid also increases oxygen uptake at the tissue level and may enhance monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity to promote serotonin degradation, which in excess may lead to fibrotic Changes.

4-POBN (Myeloperoxidase Inhibitor 1) is a potent and irreversible inhibitor of myeloperoxidase (IC50 = 0.3 µM). 4-POBN can be used in studies about subacute stroke.

Bentiromide acetate is a peptide used as a screening test for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and to monitor the adequacy of supplemental pancreatic therapy. It is broken down by the pancreatic enzyme chymotrypsin, yielding p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA).

Blood Enrichment Medium is utilized for the enrichment culture of pathogens present in the blood. Its composition includes peptone, beef extract, sodium chloride, glucose, sodium citrate, p-aminobenzoic acid, magnesium sulfate, and phenol red.
