Benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid

Benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid is an inhibitor of various oxidase systems and can serve as a lymphocyte tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor for cancer immunotherapy.

2-Benzofurancarboxylic acid is a potent antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to amines, carthamus tinctorius, coumarin derivatives, and reaction mechanism. It has been shown to be effective against several types of cancer cells and autoimmune diseases. 2-Benzofurancarboxylic acid binds reversibly to the active site of an enzyme with high affinity for amines, carthamus tinctorius, coumarin derivatives, and reaction mechanism. This binding prevents the enzyme from performing its normal function. 2-Benzofurancarboxylic acid has also been shown to inhibit bacterial growth in a microgravity environment and was found to be more effective than its analogs in a molecular docking analysis.
