Aminobenzoic acid, also known as para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), is a compound that is considered an essential nutrient for some bacteria and is often used as a component in sunscreen products. It is an organic compound, closely related to amino acids, with a formula of C7H7NO2, consisting of a benzene ring substituted with an amino group (NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH). It appears as a white, crystalline substance and is slightly soluble in water.
Wikidata
Aminobenzoic Acid
An organic acid with UV absorption and antifibrotic properties. When exposed to light, aminobenzoic acid (para-aminobenzoic acid or PABA) absorbs UV light and emits excess energy via a photochemical reaction that may cause damage to DNA. Because DNA defects contribute to skin cancer, aminobenzoic acid is no longer widely used in sunscreen formulations. Aminobenzoic acid may also increase oxygen uptake at the tissue level and may enhance monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity to promote the degradation of serotonin, which in excess, may lead to fibrotic changes.
