• Beschreibung: 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.
