Description

Thioctamide is an analog of geniposide, a medicinal compound found in Chinese urine. It has been shown to have potent anticancer activity by inhibiting kinase enzymes involved in cancer cell growth and promoting apoptosis in tumor cells. Thioctamide specifically targets cancer cells while sparing healthy cells, making it a promising candidate for cancer treatment. In addition to its anticancer properties, Thioctamide has also been studied as a protein inhibitor with potential therapeutic applications in various diseases. Its unique characteristics make it a valuable addition to the field of medicinal chemistry research.
