What is 3-Methoxybenzamide?

The Uses of 3-Methoxybenzamide

3-Methoxybenzamide is act as an inhibitor of ADP-ribosyltransferase. It is also a weak inhibitor of the essential bacterial cell division protein FtsZ. Alkyl derivatives of 3-Methoxybenzamide are potent antistaphylococcal compounds with suboptimal drug-like properties.

What are the applications of Application

3-Methoxybenzamide is an inhibitor of ART (ADP-ribosyltransferase

Biological Activity

3-Methoxybenzamide (3-MBA), an inhibitor of ADP-ribosyltransferase (ADPRTs) and PARP, inhibits cell division in Bacillus subtilis, leading to filamentation and eventually lysis of cells. 3-Methoxybenzamide (3-MBA) enhances in vitro plant growth, microtuberization, and transformation efficiency of blue potato (Solanum tuberosum L. subsp. andigenum).

in vitro

3-Methoxybenzamide (0-30 mM) affects septation via the FtsZ system during both vegetative growth and sporulation. 3-Methoxybenzamide (3 MB; 0.2 to 0.6 mM) significantly increaseS the growth and microtuber formation of in vitro propagated plants.
