4-(Aminomethyl)benzoic acid is a organic compound that can serve as a type 2 antifibrinolytic agent used in the treatment of fibrotic skin disorders, such as Peyronie's disease. It is believed that 4-(Aminomethyl)benzoic acid is effective to increase the oxygen uptake at the tissue level and enhance activity of monoamine oxidase, thus to promote the degradation of serotonin, which in excess, may lead to fibrotic changes. It is also administrated by mouth to treat several skin conditions including vitiligo, pemphigus, dermatomyositis, morphea, lymphoblastoma cutis and scleroderma.
Aminomethylbenzoic Acid is a procoagulant. There are various natural antagonists of fibrinolytic enzyme (such as fibrinolytic enzyme) in blood circulation. Normally, the activity of anti-fibrinolytic substances in blood is many times higher than that of fibrinolytic substances, so there is no fibrinolytic bleeding. However, these antagonists could not block the activation of activators (such as urokinase) adsorbed on the fibrin network to form fibrinolytic enzymes. Fibrinolytic enzyme is an endopeptidase, which can cleave the arginine and lysine peptide chains of fibrinogen in neutral environment, form fibrin degradation products, and cause coagulation hemorrhage.
