'anthranilate-related' is formed in English by combining 'anthranilate' + the adjective-forming element 'related'. 'Anthranilate' itself is a chemical name constructed from 'anthranil-' (from anthranilic acid) plus the suffix '-ate' indicating a salt or ester.

'Anthranilate' arose in modern chemical nomenclature in the 19th century as a name for salts/esters of anthranilic acid; the compound adjective 'anthranilate-related' is a straightforward modern English formation combining that chemical name with 'related'.

Initially, 'anthranilate' denoted specifically a salt or ester of anthranilic acid; over time the stem has been used more broadly to name derivatives and to form compounds and adjectives meaning 'related to or derived from anthranilate', as in 'anthranilate-related'.
