2-Hydroxy-3-isopropylbenzoic acid (2H3IPBA) is a carboxylic acid derived from benzoic acid. Its molecular structure consists of a benzene ring, where a hydroxyl group is attached to the C-2 position, and an isopropyl group is attached to the C-3 position. 2-Hydroxy-3-isopropylbenzoic acid finds extensive use in various endeavors. 2-Hydroxy-3-isopropylbenzoic acid serves as a substrate in enzyme assays and as a reagent in organic synthesis. Notably, it has been utilized for synthesizing diverse compounds, including agrochemicals and dyes. Investigations have focused on its potential as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme of significance. It is hypothesized that the compound functions as an inhibitor of the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). This particular enzyme plays a role in the synthesis of prostaglandins, hormones that contribute to inflammation and pain processes.
