(3-Methylbutyl)urea is a quinoline derivative that inhibits the growth of cancer cells by binding to and inhibiting the activity of the b-raf protein tyrosine kinase. This drug has been shown to inhibit the growth of muscle cells, which may be related to its ability to block programmed cell death. (3-Methylbutyl)urea also has been shown to exhibit strong anti-inflammatory properties in animal models. It is thought that this property is due to its ability to inhibit the production of TNF-α and other inflammatory mediators. (3-Methylbutyl)urea binds strongly with bile acids, forming an insoluble complex that prevents their reabsorption from the intestine. This effect can be exploited for treatment of certain autoimmune diseases by reducing bile acid levels in the intestine.
