2-Hydroxy-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid, commonly known as salicylic acid, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C7H6O3. It is characterized by the presence of both hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups, which contribute to its acidic properties and solubility in water. Salicylic acid appears as a white crystalline solid and has a slightly bitter taste. It is well-known for its role in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly as a key ingredient in anti-inflammatory and acne treatment products due to its ability to exfoliate the skin and reduce inflammation. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in the synthesis of various compounds, including aspirin. Salicylic acid is also utilized in the food industry as a preservative and in the production of dyes and fragrances. Its melting point is relatively low, and it exhibits moderate toxicity, necessitating careful handling. Overall, salicylic acid is a versatile compound with significant applications across multiple fields.

2-Hydroxyisophthalic acid is a hydroxylated derivative of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. It is used in the manufacture of esters such as 2-ethoxyethanol and 2-ethoxyethyl acetate. It has also been shown to have a number of enzyme activities, including esterases, glycosidases, and lipases. The macrocyclic structure of 2-hydroxyisophthalic acid is responsible for its ability to interact with other molecules through hydrogen bonding and coordination chemistry. The carboxylate group on 2-hydroxyisophthalic acid interacts with the hydroxy group on the fatty acids found in soap, which leads to its use as an emulsifying agent. The carbonyl oxygens on 2-hydroxyisophthalic acid are responsible for its anti-inflammatory properties as they inhibit prostaglandin synthesis when they bind to the cyclooxygenase enzymes that catalyze
