CAS 20485-41-0: 4-Methyl-5-thiazolecarboxylic acid

4-Methyl-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid

4-Methyl-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid is a protein inhibitor that has been investigated for its cytotoxic and antimicrobial properties. It is an effective inhibitor of protein synthesis in cancer cells with the ability to induce apoptosis, which could make it an anticancer agent. 4-Methyl-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid has been shown to inhibit the production of chloride ions in bacterial cells, which may be due to its formyl group. It can also be used as an antibacterial agent, although at higher concentrations. The molecular docking analysis of 4-methyl-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid has shown interactions with MDA MB 231 cell proteins that are modified by amide and acid catalysts.
