1,2,3-Benzenetricarboxylic acid (CAS 569-51-7)
QUICK LINKS
1,2,3-Benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTCA) is an important component in many chemical reactions and has a wide range of applications in the fields of chemistry and biochemistry. It acts as a proton donor which allows it to serve as a catalyst in a variety of chemical reactions, such as the synthesis of polymers, dyes, and pigments. In addition, it can form complexes with metal ions, which can be used to extract metals from solution. Therefore, 1,2,3-Benzenetricarboxylic acid is used as a chelating agent and as a buffer in biochemical assays. Moreover, it is known to inhibit the activity of certain enzymes, such as the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Furthermore, it inhibits the growth of certain types of cancer cells and reduces inflammation.
