Description

6-Methoxybenzoxazolinone (MBOA) is a naturally occurring benzoxazolinone found in various plants, notably maize. It is synthesized from the precursor compound, 6-methoxy-2-benzoxazolinone (MBO), via enzymatic hydrolysis. MBOA exhibits significant biological activity, acting as a potent inhibitor of various enzymes, including cytochrome P450s, and displaying antifungal and antibacterial properties. It plays a crucial role in plant defense mechanisms, protecting plants from pests and diseases. The study of MBOA is driven by its potential applications in agriculture as a natural pesticide and fungicide, as well as its implications in human health due to its interactions with metabolic pathways and its potential role in diseases like cancer.'

Roles (5)

RoleDescription
plant metaboliteAny eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
muscle relaxantA drug used to produce muscle relaxation (excepting neuromuscular blocking agents). Its primary clinical and therapeutic use is the treatment of muscle spasm and immobility associated with strains, sprains, and injuries of the back and, to a lesser degree, injuries to the neck. Also used for the treatment of a variety of clinical conditions that have in common only the presence of skeletal muscle hyperactivity, for example, the muscle spasms that can occur in multiple sclerosis.
anticonvulsantA drug used to prevent seizures or reduce their severity.
antibacterial agentA substance (or active part thereof) that kills or slows the growth of bacteria.
antifungal agentAn antimicrobial agent that destroys fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce.
