Title: Comprehensive insights into 4-amino-2-methoxybenzoic acid: Spectral analysis, solvent impact, pharmacokinetic characteristics, and docking affinity investigation against Chagas disease
Journal: Journal of Molecular Structure (Published: 2025-01-12)
Summary:
This study investigates the structural, spectral, and pharmacokinetic properties of 4-amino-2-methoxybenzoic acid using a combination of computational and experimental techniques. Detailed FT-IR, FT-Raman, NMR, and UV-Visible spectral analyses were performed to understand the vibrational and electronic characteristics of the molecule. The influence of solvents on molecular stability and reactivity was explored to highlight environmental effects. Pharmacokinetic parameters, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), were evaluated to predict drug-likeness and therapeutic potential. Furthermore, molecular docking studies revealed significant binding affinity of the compound against key target proteins associated with Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. The findings demonstrate the compound’s potential as a candidate for drug development, combining structural stability, favorable ADME properties, and promising docking interactions.
