2-Amino-5-bromobenzoic acid methyl ester

2-Amino-5-bromobenzoic acid methyl ester is a small molecule with antiviral potency. It has a dipole moment and can form hydrogen bonds. 2-Amino-5-bromobenzoic acid methyl ester inhibits the PDE5 enzyme, which is an enzyme that breaks down cGMP. This inhibition of PDE5 leads to the increase in cGMP, which causes blood vessels to relax and widen. As a result, 2-amino-5-bromobenzoic acid methyl ester has been shown to decrease high blood pressure and improve heart function.
