Useso-Toluic acid is part of a group of Benzoic acid (B203900) derivatives that possess inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinases. o-Toluic acid is also used as a reagent to synthesize halogen-substituted benzoic acids (such as 2,4-Dichlorobenzoic acid [D431955]), which have potential muscle stimulating effects.
