| Description | 2-Methylbenzoic acid, also known as 2-toluic acid or O-methylbenzoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzoic acids. These are organic Compounds containing a benzene ring which bears at least one carboxyl group. 2-Methylbenzoic acid is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. o-Toluic acid is found in Arabidopsis thaliana and Homo sapiens. o-Toluic acid was first documented in 2005 (PMID: 16012080). Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on 2-Methylbenzoic acid (PMID: 21793062). |
