(2s,3s)-trans-2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxyanthranilic acid

(2s,3s)-trans‑2,3‑dihydro‑3‑hydroxyanthranilic acid is a small molecule and a chiral cyclic β-amino acid derivative with the molecular formula C7H9NO3 and a molecular weight of 155.15 g/mol[1][2][5]. It features both hydroxyl and amino functional groups on a cyclohexene ring. This compound is primarily studied as an experimental research chemical rather than as an approved pharmaceutical agent[1][5]. Its biological activity includes antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; it can modulate oxidative stress by reducing reactive oxygen species in cells and may influence inflammatory pathways[6]. The compound has also been investigated for its potential anticancer effects due to its ability to inhibit cancer cell proliferation in preliminary studies[6]. Mechanistically, it interacts with various enzymes—potentially acting as either inhibitor or activator depending on context—and binds target proteins via its hydroxyl group and chiral centers[6]. It is not currently approved for any medical indication but has been used in biochemical research related to enzyme function and metabolic pathway studies.
