The Uses of 4-HYDROXYPHENOXYACETIC ACID
2-(4-Hydroxyphenoxy)acetic Acid is used in the design, synthesis and evaluation of postulated transient intermediate and substrate analogues as inhibitors of 4-hyroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase. Acts as a reagent in the preparation, anti-HIV and kinesin Eg5 inhibitory activities, QSAR, and modeling studies of triazolothiadiazole and triazolothiadiazine derivatives. Synthesis of thiadiazolotriazin-4-ones and study of their mosquito-larvicidal and antibacterial properties.
Definition
ChEBI: 4-Hydroxypheoxyacetate is a monocarboxylic acid.
General Description
(4-Hydroxyphenoxy)acetic acid along with formaldehyde ammonium salt forms a polyaromatic anionic compound RG-13577. RG-13577 mimics the synthetic heparin and specifically binds to the vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and inhibits their proliferative growth. In the molecules of (4-hydroxyphenoxy)acetic acid, the carboxyl groups are held together by R22(8) hydrogen bonds.
