Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethyl 2-aminobenzoate
DescriptionMethyl 2-aminobenzoate, also known as 2-carbomethoxyaniline or 2-(methoxycarbonyl)aniline, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzoic acid esters. These are ester derivatives of benzoic acid. Methyl 2-aminobenzoate is a bitter, flower, and fruity tasting compound. Methyl 2-aminobenzoate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as limes (Citrus aurantiifolia), herbal tea, alcoholic beverages, teas (Camellia sinensis), and cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao). This could make methyl 2-aminobenzoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Methyl 2-aminobenzoate 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. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Methyl 2-aminobenzoate.
