Methyl 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoate

Description:

Methyl 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoate, with the CAS number 61940-22-5, is an organic compound belonging to the class of benzoate esters. It features a methyl group and a nitro group attached to a benzoate structure, which contributes to its chemical properties. This compound is typically characterized by its aromatic nature, which imparts stability and influences its reactivity. The presence of the nitro group introduces electron-withdrawing characteristics, affecting the compound's electrophilicity and reactivity in various chemical reactions. Methyl 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoate is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or other fine chemicals. It is generally soluble in organic solvents, and its physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point, can vary based on purity and environmental conditions. As with many nitro compounds, it may exhibit specific safety and handling considerations due to potential toxicity or reactivity, necessitating appropriate precautions during use.

Methyl 2-methyl-6-nitro-benzoate (MMNB) is a small molecule that has been shown to inhibit the growth of human cancers. MMNB inhibits cell growth by inhibiting the activity of lysine in hCT-116 cells. It also binds to the active site of HCT-116 and A549 lung cancer cells, blocking DNA synthesis and tumor formation. MMNB can be used as a therapeutic agent for cancer prevention or treatment. The inhibition of cell growth is reversible, with MMNB being excreted from the body within 24 hours after its administration.
