Beschreibung

4-Methyl-2-nitroanisole (4NA) is a hydronium that has been shown to be an anticancer drug. It inhibits the growth of cancer cells by binding to reactive methoxy groups on the cell surface and promotes apoptosis, or programmed cell death. 4NA also produces nitric oxide, which may cause DNA damage in cancer cells. The mechanism of action for 4NA is not fully understood but it has been shown to have a radical mechanism of action which leads to the formation of reactive molecules that can react with other molecules in the cell, leading to DNA damage and cell death. Preparative methods for synthesizing 4NA are acidic and involve aldehydes and nitrites.
