4-Fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid

CAS: 141179-72-8

4-Fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid is a small molecule that inhibits the function of certain enzymes in the pentose phosphate pathway, which is essential for tumor cell proliferation. 4-Fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid blocks these enzymes, inhibiting cancer cell growth and causing apoptosis, or programmed cell death. This compound has been shown to be an effective anticancer agent in human cancer cells grown in culture. It also inhibits neuropathic pain by blocking the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). This inhibition prevents PGE2 from binding to its receptors on nerve endings, preventing pain signals from being relayed to the brain.
