Description

4-Chlorobenzhydrazide is a potential anticancer agent that has shown to have inhibitory effects on cancer cells in vitro. It binds to copper, forming a copper complex which inhibits the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase. This leads to a decrease in melanin synthesis and reduced pigmentation. The chemical structure of 4-chlorobenzhydrazide is similar to that of phenacetin and acetanilide, two drugs that were removed from the market due to their adverse side effects on the liver. 4-Chlorobenzhydrazide has been found to be toxic for animal cells at high concentrations, but does not show any toxicity for human cells.
