2-(Methylsulfanyl)phenyl acetate

CAS: 75744-85-3

2-(Methylsulfanyl)phenyl acetate is a potent inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). It also inhibits COX-1, but to a lesser extent. 2-(Methylsulfanyl)phenyl acetate has been shown to inhibit cancer cell proliferation and suppress the inflammatory response in cells with high COX-2 levels. This compound is chemically modified by acetylation, which can attenuate its biological activity. Additionally, the residue may be removed from the molecule by tryptic digestion. 2-(Methylsulfanyl)phenyl acetate is an analog of aspirin and interacts with the sulfoxides in a similar manner as does aspirin, albeit more weakly.
