Product Description
2,5-Dimethoxybenzoic is an intermediate in the synthesis of galbulimama alkaloid GB13.
2,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid (CAS# 2785-98-0) is a benzoic acid derivative with the molecular formula C9H10O4. It features two methoxy groups at the 2 and 5 positions of the benzene ring and a carboxylic acid group. The compound is used as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. As a dimethoxybenzoic acid, it exhibits potential biological activities including antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. 2,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid is used in research applications for studying phenolic compounds and their biological activities. It is intended for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use.

These in vitro studies provide foundational data for understanding the compound's properties and its potential applications in pharmaceutical research and organic synthesis.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies of 2,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid are limited, as the compound is primarily used as a research chemical and chemical intermediate. Its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties suggest potential for in vivo evaluation in models of oxidative stress and infection. As a benzoic acid derivative, it would be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and metabolized through standard pathways for benzoic acid derivatives. Further research is needed to fully characterize its in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme and receptor binding assays for 2,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid typically involve testing its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Antioxidant activity is assessed using cell-free systems such as DPPH radical scavenging assays, ABTS assays, or ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. For antimicrobial activity, standard disc diffusion or broth microdilution methods are employed to determine minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). The compound's purity and identity are assessed using analytical chemistry methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry. All assays are performed with appropriate controls.

Cells are treated with varying concentrations of the compound and then exposed to oxidative stress inducers such as H2O2. Reactive oxygen species levels are measured using fluorescent probes. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or similar colorimetric assays. For antimicrobial studies, bacterial or fungal cultures are treated with the compound and cell viability is monitored. All experiments are performed in triplicate with appropriate controls to ensure statistical reliability.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for 2,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid would be conducted to evaluate its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. For antioxidant studies, animals would be administered the compound and markers of oxidative stress measured in blood and tissue samples. For antimicrobial studies, infected animals would be treated and pathogen load assessed. Parameters assessed would include body weight, organ weights, and histopathology. Control groups receiving vehicle alone would be included for comparison. All procedures would comply with institutional animal care and use committee guidelines. Comprehensive in vivo studies are not well documented in the available literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of 2,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid reflect its nature as a small benzoic acid derivative. It has a molecular weight consistent with its formula C9H10O4. As a carboxylic acid, it would be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and metabolized through standard pathways for benzoic acid derivatives, including conjugation reactions. Its LogP and other physicochemical properties suggest moderate lipophilicity. Complete pharmacokinetic profiling including half-life, clearance, volume of distribution, and bioavailability would require further systematic studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of 2,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid has been evaluated in the context of its use as a research chemical. As a benzoic acid derivative, it may have irritant properties. Proper handling procedures including use of personal protective equipment are recommended when working with pure compound. The compound is not approved for human therapeutic use and is intended for research purposes only. Long-term toxicity studies would be needed to fully establish its safety profile. The compound's methoxy groups may influence its metabolism and toxicity.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

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)
