4-(1-Hydroxy-ethyl)-benzoic acid

4-(1-Hydroxy-ethyl)-benzoic acid (4-HBA) is a hydrophobic compound that is an inhibitor of cytochrome P450, which is an enzyme system in the liver and other organs. The inhibitory activity of 4-HBA is due to its binding to the active site of cytochrome P450. This molecule has been shown to be effective against ferredoxin and putidaredoxin, which are enzymes that play a role in electron transfer reactions. 4-(1-Hydroxy-ethyl)-benzoic acid binds to the residue on these enzymes without any effect on their function.
