Description

1,2-Diphenyl-1-cyanoethylene is a molecule that is involved in the cancer process. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of skin cancer cells and other types of cancer cells by binding to mitochondria and inhibiting the formation of proton gradients across mitochondrial membranes. This inhibition leads to a decrease in cellular ATP production and an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in cell death. 1,2-Diphenyl-1-cyanoethylene also has anticancer activity due to its ability to induce light emission from the skin and interfere with the optical properties of holothuria, which are sea cucumbers.
