Uses
2-Amino-3-methoxybenzoic Acid is used in the preparation of CDK1/cyclin B inhibitors for application towards antitumor treatment. In addition, it is used in the synthesis of Alogliptin, an inhibitor o
f dipeptidy peptidase, which aids in the lowering of blood-glucose for potential treatment of diabetes.
