Descripción

Methyl 4-formylbenzoate is a trifluoroacetic acid derivative that inhibits the conversion of androgens to estrogens. It has been shown to inhibit aromatase activity in human serum and cell culture, as well as in vitro cultured rat hepatocytes. Methyl 4-formylbenzoate also binds to copper(II) by forming a complex with copper(II) ions, which prevents the formation of an enzyme-substrate complex. The binding of methyl 4-formylbenzoate to copper(II) prevents the production of malonic acid from acetoacetate, which inhibits fatty acid synthesis. This compound also acts as an analytical reagent for the detection of acylation reactions, such as those involving benzimidazole compounds.
