Description

2-Chloroethyl methyl sulfide (2CEMS) is a reactive compound that has been shown to enhance membrane interactions and fatty acid metabolism in experimental models. 2CEMS is a substrate molecule for the reaction mechanism of the enzyme phospholipase A2, which plays an important role in the production of arachidonic acid. 2CEMS has been shown to have cytotoxic effects on 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, with cell death occurring as a result of kinetic energy emissions. The halides in 2CEMS can coordinate with hematopoietic cells, leading to the inhibition of their proliferation and differentiation. 2CEMS is also able to bind with various metals such as copper and zinc, which may be useful for pharmaceutical drug applications.
