5-Chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid is an industrial chemical that is used in the production of pharmaceuticals, plastics, and dyes. It also has hypoglycemic activity and can be used to treat type 2 diabetes. The molecular modeling study of this compound showed that it binds to the chloride ion by forming a hydrogen bond between the oxygen atom of the carboxylic acid group and the nitrogen atom of the chloride ion. This interaction leads to a lower pH value in the environment where 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid is present. This change in pH may affect other molecules such as glucose, which could lead to a decrease in blood sugar levels. Researchers have found that 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid has cancer cell growth inhibiting properties and can be used as a potential drug for colorectal adenocarcinoma treatment.
