Yanofsky (1) originally proposed N-(5’-phosphoribosyl)anthranilic acid as the first intermediate after anthranilic acid in tryptophan biosynthesis in microorganisms. Evidence was subsequently found which suggested that this compound is formed enzymatically from anthranilic acid and ribosylpyrophosphate 5-phosphate (2, 3). Although the dephosphorylated form of PRA,’ N-ribosylanthranilic acid, ha...

The anthranilic scaffold plays an important role as a pharmacophore and toxophore in medicinal and agricultural chemistry and contributes to a variety of biological activities [1 – 9]. Although ring-closure reactions of N-unsubstituted anthranilic acid derivates have been extensively elaborated, investigations towards the corresponding chemistry of N-alkyl(aryl)-anthranilic acids remained fragm...

Anthranilic acid analogues and their derivatives hold significant therapeutic potential for crafting designed compounds aimed at regulating cancer-causing pathways addressing metabolic challenges linked to diabetes, antiviral agents [...]

Anthranilic acid and indole have been implicated as intermediates in the biosynthesis of tryptophan in several microorganisms (l-5). A mechanism of tryptophan synthesis from indole has been established, namely the pyridoxal phosphate-dependent coupling of indole and L-serine (6-9). Previous studies of the conversion of anthranilic acid to the indole ring of tryptophan have shown that the amino ...

1. [2-(14)C]Indole has been synthesized from [(14)C]formate and o-toluidine via N[(14)C]-formyltoluidine. 2. When fed to rats, the (14)C of [(14)C]indole (dose 70-80mg./kg. body wt.) is fairly rapidly excreted, and in 2 days an average of 81% appears in the urine, 11% in the faeces and 2.4% as carbon dioxide in the expired air. 3. Radioactivity is excreted in the urine as indoxyl sulphate (50% ...

the first highly accelerated niementowski reaction of anhranilic acid with some amides or ketones under microwave irradiation leading to quinazolinones and quinoline derivatives is described. these reactions represent some examples of efficient microwave irradiation promoted organic condensation in which the reactions can be carried out in open vessels and provides products of high purity with ...

As part of a study of kynurenine metabolism in Neurospora crassa, the enzyme, kynureninase, has been investigated. Evidence from studies with mycelial pads suggests that tryptophan gives rise to kynurenine, which may be degraded to anthranilic acid (1). Kynurenine is also oxidized to hydroxykynurenine, which is converted to hydroxyanthranilic acid (2). The similarity of these reactions, i.e. th...

The data on the coordination and structure of iron(II) and iron(III) anthranilates in the solid state and in aqueous medium are presented and discussed, as studied using Mössbauer (for solid products and frozen solutions) and FTIR spectroscopy (for solid samples). Whereas, in slightly acidic nitrate solutions under aerobic conditions ferric ions can still be gradually reduced by anthranilic (o-...
