CAS 99-64-9: 3-(Dimethylamino)benzoic acid

3-Dimethylaminobenzoic acid is a bacterial enzyme that belongs to the group of p2 carboxylates. It is a non-specific esterase that has been shown to hydrolyze 3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid, which is an indicator of root formation. The enzyme activity of 3-dimethylaminobenzoic acid has been demonstrated in kinetic data and redox potential measurements. 3DMBB is found in plants and can be used for the determination of dry weight, as it can hydrolyze triticum aestivum urine samples or cholesterol esters. This enzyme also has catalase activity and can be used in the determination of catalase activity in biological fluids such as urine samples or blood serum.

3-Dimethylaminobenzoic acid is a carboxylate that can be found in plants and animals. It is a precursor to many biologically important molecules, including the amino acid tryptophan. 3-Dimethylaminobenzoic acid has been shown to have a redox potential of -0.38 V, which makes it an excellent candidate for use as an electron acceptor. This compound is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of cholesterol esters and fatty acids, and has been shown to inhibit the growth of basophilic leukemia cells in mice. 3-Dimethylaminobenzoic acid has also been shown to have a cholesterol esterase activity on human liver cytosol, with an enzyme activity of 0.0015 U/mg protein at pH 7.5 and 37°C, and on human urine samples with an enzyme activity of 0.0027 U/mg protein at pH 6.0 and 37
