Description

3-Chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid is a prodrug that is converted to fluvoxamine maleate, its active form, by esterases. It is an inhibitor of the enzyme nitric oxide synthase and is used in the treatment of cancer. 3-Chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid has been shown to inhibit cellular growth and proliferation in cancer cells. The molecular modeling study showed that 3-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid binds to the kinesin motor domain in a manner similar to fluvoxamine maleate but has a lower inhibitory potency than fluvoxamine maleate. Nonetheless, it was found that 3-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid could be used as a prodrug for fluvoxamine maleate.
