Description

m-Carborane is a molecule that is composed of a chlorine atom and an aromatic hydrocarbon. m-Carborane has been shown to be an estrogen receptor modulator, which may have potential as a drug for the prevention or treatment of hormone-related diseases. This compound has also been shown to act as a fluorophore and to have high melting points. It forms hydrogen bonds with other molecules and can bind to progesterone receptors, which are found in breast cancer cells. These interactions have been studied using x-ray crystal structures and microscopy studies on MCF-7 cells.
