4-aminobenzoic acid
4-Aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is a UV-absorbing compound whose photochemical activity can induce DNA damage. It also modulates tissue metabolism by increasing oxygen uptake and potentially enhancing MAO-mediated serotonin degradation, which is studied in contexts of fibrosis research both in vitro and in vivo.
