Description

4-tert-Butylbenzoyl chloride is a chemical used in the production of polymers. It is a reactive compound that has been shown to cause metabolic disorders in light-exposed primary cells and polymerase chain reactions, inhibiting the transcription of DNA to RNA and protein synthesis. The process by which 4-tert-Butylbenzoyl chloride causes these effects is still unknown. This chemical also alters the body mass index of mice by increasing the fat content of their livers, as well as reducing their levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF). 4-tert-Butylbenzoyl chloride has also been shown to inhibit the synthesis of proteins by binding to nuclear DNA, preventing transcription from occurring. Although it was hypothesized that 4-tert-Butylbenzoyl chloride inhibits cellular proliferation due to its ability to bind with DNA, this has not been proven conclusively.
