2,4-Diaminobenzoic acid, with the CAS number 611-03-0, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of aromatic amines. It features two amino groups (-NH2) attached to a benzoic acid structure, specifically at the 2 and 4 positions relative to the carboxylic acid group (-COOH). This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, owing to its ability to form hydrogen bonds. It exhibits basic properties due to the presence of amino groups, which can accept protons. 2,4-Diaminobenzoic acid is primarily used in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and as a building block in organic chemistry. Additionally, it has applications in the production of certain polymers and as a reagent in various chemical reactions. Its biological significance includes potential roles in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the development of drugs targeting specific pathways. However, handling this compound requires caution due to its potential toxicity and the need for appropriate safety measures.

2,4-diaminobenzoic acid is a substrate in the shikimate pathway of bacteria, which is an essential metabolic process for the synthesis of aromatic amino acids. It inhibits this metabolic pathway by preventing the conversion of chorismate to shikimate-3-phosphate, which blocks the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids. 2,4-DBA also has potent inhibitory activity against several bacterial strains and can be used as a pharmaceutical drug for treating infections caused by these bacteria. 2,4-DBA is used as a monosodium salt in order to increase its solubility and stability in water and to prevent amide hydrolysis.
