Product Description
3,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid can be extracted from the leaves of Melia azedarach L., has antifungal activity, and is an intermediate in organic synthesis.
3,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid (CAS 1132-21-4) is an aromatic organic acid and antifungal agent. It is a substituted aromatic carboxylic acid featuring two methoxy groups at the 3 and 5 positions of the benzene ring. This compound exhibits antifungal activity against A. rabiei and can be used as an intermediate for anticancer agents. It also has anti-wrinkle, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin regeneration effects. The compound serves as an essential building block in organic synthesis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
3,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid targets fungal pathogens such as A. rabiei, exhibiting antifungal activity. It is also used as a reagent in the synthesis of resveratrol analogues and quinone reductase 2 inhibitors. As an intermediate for anticancer agents, it may target pathways involved in cancer cell proliferation, including VEGFR-2, ERK-2, and Abl-1. The compound's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities suggest it may target oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 3,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid demonstrates antifungal activity against A. rabiei. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin regeneration effects in cell-based assays. The compound is used as a building block for synthesizing bioactive molecules, including anticancer agents that inhibit VEGFR-2, ERK-2, and Abl-1. These in vitro activities support its use in drug discovery and development for antifungal, anticancer, and dermatological applications.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 3,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid has demonstrated skin regeneration and anti-wrinkle effects, suggesting potential dermatological applications. Its antifungal activity observed in vitro requires further validation in animal models of fungal infection. The compound's role as an intermediate for anticancer agents suggests potential in vivo applications in cancer therapy, although direct in vivo efficacy data are limited. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its therapeutic potential.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for 3,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid include antifungal susceptibility testing against A. rabiei using broth microdilution methods to determine MIC values. Antioxidant activity is assessed using DPPH or ABTS radical scavenging assays. Anti-inflammatory activity is evaluated by measuring inhibition of COX-1/COX-2 or cytokine production. For anticancer applications, the compound's inhibitory activity against VEGFR-2, ERK-2, and Abl-1 is assessed using kinase activity assays with appropriate substrates. All assays are performed in triplicate with appropriate controls and reference compounds.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for 3,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid are conducted using various cell lines depending on the application. For antifungal studies, fungal cultures are used to assess growth inhibition. For anticancer research, cancer cell lines (e.g., those expressing VEGFR-2 or Abl-1) are treated with compound concentrations ranging from 0.1-100 μM for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT assays. Anti-inflammatory activity is evaluated in macrophage cell lines by measuring cytokine production. Skin regeneration effects are assessed in keratinocyte or fibroblast cultures. Experiments include vehicle controls and appropriate positive controls.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with 3,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid are limited, as the compound is primarily used as a research intermediate and building block. Dermatological studies may be conducted in animal models of skin aging or wound healing. The compound is applied topically or administered systemically at appropriate doses. Skin regeneration and anti-wrinkle effects are assessed by histological analysis and measurement of skin parameters. Antifungal efficacy is evaluated in models of fungal infection. Each group consists of 6-10 animals with appropriate vehicle controls.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 3,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid have not been extensively characterized. As a small, polar aromatic acid (MW 182.17), it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability with rapid absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. The compound likely undergoes hepatic metabolism, including O-demethylation and conjugation, with elimination via renal excretion. The methoxy groups may affect its metabolic stability and pharmacokinetic profile. Detailed PK parameters require further investigation in preclinical species.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 3,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid indicate that it is generally considered safe at research doses. No significant acute toxicity has been reported. The compound is an aromatic organic acid found in natural sources and used as a pharmaceutical intermediate. However, comprehensive toxicological studies, including chronic toxicity and genotoxicity, have not been conducted. As with all research chemicals, appropriate safety precautions should be taken during handling, and the compound should be used only for research purposes.

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
