Description

2-Amino-N-methylbenzamide is a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist that has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in vitro. 2-Amino-N-methylbenzamide binds to the benzodiazepine receptor, which is found in cell nuclei and is involved in controlling the process of cell division. Benzodiazepines are a class of drugs that work by increasing the activity of GABA, which reduces neuronal excitability. 2-Amino-N-methylbenzamide prevents this activity by binding to the benzodiazepine receptor, preventing GABA from binding to its receptors and thereby inhibiting neuronal excitability. This drug has also been shown to inhibit cancer growth through an anthranilic acid derivative, methyl anthranilate. Methyl anthranilate inhibits DNA synthesis and induces apoptosis in cancer cells, leading to cell death.
