• Description: 4-Chloro-D-phenylalanine is an amino acid that is structurally similar to insulin. It can inhibit the growth of cancer cells by preventing the conversion of hydroxide to hydrogen peroxide. This reaction prevents the formation of reactive oxygen species, which are involved in the development of cancer. 4-Chloro-D-phenylalanine also has a role in epidermal growth and wound healing. It promotes epidermal growth factor and fibronectin production and increases collagen synthesis, which aids in wound healing. 4-Chloro-D-phenylalanine can be used as a chronic treatment for diabetes mellitus type 2 because it has been shown to reduce blood glucose levels and promote insulin release from pancreatic beta cells.
