Description

4-Chlorophenylacetic acid is a fatty acid that reacts with hydroxyl groups to form reaction intermediates. It has been used in antiestrogen therapy as it is able to inhibit the activity of estrogen. It has also been used in polymeric matrices to control the release of silver ions for the treatment of cancer. 4-Chlorophenylacetic acid is synthesized by acylation of phenylacetic acid with chloroacetyl chloride in the presence of hydrochloric acid and sephadex g-100. 4-Chlorophenylacetic acid has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in animal models, which may be due to its ability to induce apoptosis.
