Product Information

• Name: 4-Benzyloxyphenylhydrazine hydrochloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Benzyloxyphenylhydrazine HCl is a pro-apoptotic agent that is used in the treatment of cancer. It induces apoptosis by binding to estrogen receptors and modulating their activity. This drug has been shown to induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells (MCF-7) and inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells (LNCaP). 4-Benzyloxyphenylhydrazine HCl binds to the estrogen receptor, which causes it to dimerize with other estrogen receptors, resulting in increased transcription of genes that regulate programmed cell death. It also inhibits the production of proteins that are vital for cell division, leading to apoptosis. Hydrolysis by hydrochloric acid or chloride leads to phenylhydrazone formation, which may react with diazo compounds such as benzaldehyde and nitrosyl chloride to form an aromatic hydrocarbon product.
