3-Amino-4-methylbenzoic acid methyl ester

3-Amino-4-methylbenzoic acid methyl ester (3AMB) is an organic compound that is used as a reagent in the synthesis of amides. It can also be used to synthesize various heterocycles by reacting with aldehydes and ketones. 3AMB has been used as a substrate in assays for amines, yielding high yields. The compound's unsymmetrical structure can be attributed to the presence of different substituents on either side of the central carbon atom. 3AMB has been shown to inhibit metal ion enzymes such as dioxygenases and nitric oxide synthases, which are involved in the metabolism of nitric oxide and oxygen respectively. In addition, 3AMB has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and may be a potential candidate for use as an anticoagulant or antiplatelet drug.br>br> br>br> 3AMB is
