• Beschreibung: Hydroquinone monobenzyl ether (MBEH) is a reactive chemical that has been used as a pharmacological treatment for cancer. It reacts with DNA to form a covalent bond, which inhibits the process of transcription and replication. MBEH has been shown to be effective in treating bowel disease and skin cancer. MBEH also has an effect on autoimmune diseases and infectious diseases because it blocks the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and cytokines. MBEH is converted to monobenzone (MBZ) by cytochrome P450 enzymes, which inhibits DNA synthesis by binding to the enzyme RNA polymerase.
