Description

4-Chloro-3-methoxybenzoic acid (4CMB) is a putative cancer drug that belongs to the group of imidazole derivatives. 4CMB has been shown to inhibit the growth of human breast and colon cancer cells in culture by altering the metabolism of 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid, which is an acceptor for aromatic amino acid hydroxylase. The effect of 4CMB on this enzyme leads to a decrease in the production of kynurenine, which is a molecule involved in the production of melanin. This reduced amount of kynurenine results in a loss of pigment and decreases the ability of melanocytes to produce pigments such as melanin. This may help explain how 4CMB works against malignant cells and cancer.
