Description

4-(Bromomethyl)phenylacetic acid is a potent cancer drug that blocks the activity of hydrogen-bonding interactions. It inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cells, DU145 cells, and other cell lines. The drug has been shown to inhibit the activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in primary blood cells from healthy donors. TLR4 is a protein found on the surface of immune cells that senses molecules from bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. This protein plays an important role in triggering anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory responses to infection. The drug also inhibits platelet aggregation and lipoprotein lipase activity in vitro.
