5-Methoxy-2-nitrophenol

Description:

5-Methoxy-2-nitrophenol, with the CAS number 704-14-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both methoxy and nitro functional groups attached to a phenolic ring. This compound typically appears as a yellow to orange solid and is soluble in organic solvents, while exhibiting limited solubility in water. The methoxy group (-OCH3) contributes to its electron-donating properties, while the nitro group (-NO2) is an electron-withdrawing group, influencing the compound's reactivity and stability. 5-Methoxy-2-nitrophenol is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Its chemical properties include potential acidity due to the hydroxyl (-OH) group, and it may undergo various reactions such as nitration, reduction, or substitution. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as nitrophenols can be toxic and may pose environmental hazards. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate any risks associated with its use.

5-Methoxy-2-nitrophenol is a potential drug candidate with anti-tumor effects. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of various types of cancer cells, including leukemia and breast cancer cells. 5-Methoxy-2-nitrophenol has also been shown to be effective in reducing the size of tumors in mice by inhibiting fatty acid synthase, which is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of fatty acids and lipids. This drug candidate is synthesized from chloroformate and hydroxamic acids. The functional theory states that it inhibits an enzyme called methyltransferase, which transfers methyl groups to DNA. The hydrogenation reduction theory suggests that 5-Methoxy-2-nitrophenol may inhibit the activity of reductively activated enzymes in tissue samples by forming a covalent bond with their sulfhydryl groups or other active sites.
