Orthanilic acid is a biological acid with roles in benzoate degradation and microbial metabolism in diverse environments.
Orthanilic acid promotes reverse turn formation in peptides, inducing a folded conformation when incorporated into peptide sequences , showing robust 11-membered-ring hydrogen-bonding.
Orthanilic acid is a structural component of some azo dyes which consequently have poor bacterial degradation.
Orthanilic acids have also been found to affect cardiac tension.
