Orthanilic acid promotes reverse turn formation in peptides, inducing a folded conformation[3][4] when incorporated into peptide sequences (Xaa-SAnt-Yaa), showing robust 11-membered-ring hydrogen-bonding.

Orthanilic acid is a structural component of some azo dyes which consequently have poor bacterial degradation.[5]

Orthanilic acids have also been found to affect cardiac tension.[6][7]
