Description

4-Chlorocinnamide is an organochlorine compound that has been found to have antibacterial properties. It inhibits the shikimate pathway in bacteria, which is essential for bacterial growth. This molecule has been shown to bind with the cation channel of the nerve cells in the trigeminal nerve and inhibit their function. The inhibition of this channel leads to reduced sensitivity to pain. 4-Chlorocinnamide is also a precursor in the synthesis of stilbene derivatives, which are used as anticancer drugs.
