Morpholin-4-yl-acetic acid is a water-soluble drug that has been used for the treatment of infectious diseases, such as hepatitis and malaria. It can be detected using a number of analytical methods, including gas chromatography, mass spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance. Morpholin-4-yl-acetic acid has also been used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer. It is a pharmacological agent with a variety of biological effects, including antiinflammatory activities. Morpholin-4-yl-acetic acid binds to protein kinase C (PKC) receptors and inhibits the activity of PKC enzymes by interfering with their ability to bind to phospholipids on the outside of cells. This binding prevents the formation of an enzyme complex with the cell membrane that is required for signal transduction pathways. Morpholin-4-yl-acetic acid also has hydroxyl group that can react with inorganic acids to form salts or esters.
