4-(acetylamino)-3-guanidinobenzoic acid

**4-(Acetylamino)-3-Guanidinobenzoic Acid** is a synthetic small molecule compound with the chemical formula C10H14N4O3 and a molecular weight of approximately 238.24 g/mol[1][2][6]. It features a benzoic acid backbone substituted with an acetylamino group at the para (4-) position and a guanidino group at the meta (3-) position[2][6]. The compound has been investigated as an experimental agent, notably in structure-based drug design efforts targeting influenza neuraminidase, suggesting potential antiviral activity through inhibition of this viral enzyme[7]. However, it has not been approved for any clinical use or indication to date and remains primarily of research interest.
