Beschreibung

4-(Phenylazo)benzoic acid is a phenolic compound that has been shown to be cytotoxic and inhibit growth of cancer cells in vitro. It was found to have significant cytotoxicity against human leukemia, breast, prostate and colon cancer cells. 4-(Phenylazo)benzoic acid binds to the DNA of cancer cells by hydrogen bonding interactions, which prevents the synthesis of RNA and protein necessary for cell division. This inhibits the growth of cancer cells. 4-(Phenylazo)benzoic acid also has an azophenyl group in its structure that can be used as a model system for studying molecular interactions in diazonium salts. The molecule's steric interactions are also important in determining its shape and size.
