Application


  • Functionalization of seawater reverse osmosis membrane with quorum sensing inhibitor to regulate microbial community and mitigate membrane biofouling.: This study investigates the application of methyl anthranilate as a quorum sensing inhibitor in the functionalization of seawater reverse osmosis membranes. The addition of this compound has shown to effectively regulate microbial community dynamics and mitigate membrane biofouling, offering a promising solution to enhance the efficiency and longevity of water treatment systems (Chen et al., 2024).

  • Methyl N,N-dimethylanthranilate and ethyl propionate: repellents effective against spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii.: Research demonstrates that methyl anthranilate, when combined with ethyl propionate, serves as an effective repellent against the pest Drosophila suzukii. This finding is crucial for developing environmentally friendly pest management strategies in agriculture (Conroy et al., 2024).

  • Methylanthranilate, a Food Fragrance Attenuates Skin Pigmentation through Downregulation of Melanogenic Enzymes by cAMP Suppression.: This article explores the use of methyl anthranilate in cosmetic formulations, highlighting its efficacy in reducing skin pigmentation by modulating the cellular signaling pathways involved in melanin synthesis. The findings support its potential use in dermatological products aimed at skin lightening and pigmentation correction (Park et al., 2024).
