Description

2-Chloroacetophenone is a chemical that has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of the enzyme form of the human acetylcholinesterase. It is used in experimental studies for its ability to inhibit the activity of other enzymes such as polymerase chain, which is involved in DNA replication. 2-Chloroacetophenone has also been shown to have anti-cancer properties, inhibiting skin cancer cells and cancer cells derived from cardiac tissue. The drug also has anti-inflammatory properties and can be used for the treatment of arthritis. 2-Chloroacetophenone's toxicity has been studied extensively and it does not appear to affect glomerular filtration rate or body mass index significantly, although it may affect receptor activity.
