Talk:Anthranilic acid

nonadjacent
The molecule consists of a substituted benzene ring, hence is classed as aromatic, with two adjacent, or "ortho-" functional groups, acarboxylic acid and an amine. What if they arent adjacent? What is it called then? Just granpa (talk) 11:28, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Somewhere around an article describes the nomenclature: the 1,2-derivatives are called ortho- or o-, 1,3-derivatives are called meta- or m-, and 1,4-derivatives are called para- or p-.--Smokefoot (talk) 14:09, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Moved from article
I have removed the following statement because it is unclear without any context. If anyone can figure it out and make it clear, pleae feel free to reintroduce it with context. -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:28, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * other examples quoted include Febrifugine, Piriqualone, Bouchardatine, Balaglitazone, Pegamine etc..

Possible biomarker for dementia risk
Could mention : Researchers Identify Metabolite That Could Signal a Higher Risk of Developing Dementia and Alzheimer’s ? Says "anthranilic acid is known to be involved in glutamate excitotoxicity, a process in which glutamate damages neurons by promoting their excessive and unregulated activity." - Rod57 (talk) 13:55, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Nope. just a primary source. so, so many "potential biomarkers" of AD have been published. Jytdog (talk) 14:12, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
