Product Information

• Name: 3-Chloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid methyl ester
• Synonyms: Methyl 3-chloro-4-methoxybenzoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Chloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid methyl ester is a potent antiproliferative agent that inhibits the growth of cancer cells and bacteria. It is an amide, which has been synthesized by equilibration between two equivalents of 3-chlorobenzoic acid and methylamine. The copulatory proton profile for this compound has been determined using liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry detection (LCMS). This compound is also a weak inhibitor of tyrosine kinases, but is more potent as an inhibitor of protein kinase C. Sorafenib and dasatinib are examples of compounds that have been shown to be linked to this drug. 3-Chloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid methyl ester can induce the production of TNF-α in thp-1 cells at micromolar concentrations.
