Product Information

• Name: 3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetonitrile (3,5-BTFAPN) is a compound that has anticancer activity. It can be used to treat cancer by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. 3,5-BTFAPN has been shown to be effective against some human cancer cell lines in vitro and in vivo. The drug was found to have cytotoxic effects by inducing apoptosis through changes in mitochondrial membrane potential and cytochrome c release. 3,5-BTFAPN also binds to DNA and forms adducts with guanine residues, which may explain its anticancer activity.
