paraaminobenzoic acid (H₂NC₆H₄COOH) (PABA)

[per′ə·amē′nōbenzō′ik]

a substance, often associated with the vitamin B complex, found in cereals, eggs, milk, and meat, and present in detectable amounts in blood, urine, spinal fluid, and sweat. It is widely used as a sunscreen that forms a partial chemical conjugation with constituents of the horny layer and resists removal by water and sweat. PABA is a sulfonamide antagonist and may be an effective agent for the treatment of scleroderma, dermatomyositis, and pemphigus. Also called para-aminobenzoic acid.
