2-Phenyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid is a potent antitubercular agent with a broad spectrum of activity. It is a derivative of the imidazole ring system, which has been shown to be effective against tuberculosis in humans and animals. 2-Phenyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid is metabolized in the liver and excreted in the urine. The concentration of this agent in human serum is determined by its interaction with serum albumin, as well as by fluorescence techniques such as spectroscopy.
