Description

2,3-Dimethylphenoxyacetic acid is a selective inhibitor of strictosidine synthase, an enzyme that catalyzes the last step in the biosynthesis of the alkaloid strictosidine. It binds to a cysteine amino acid residue in the active site of the enzyme and prevents catalysis. This inhibition could be due to its ability to form covalent bonds with other molecules or its ability to bind strongly to metals such as iron and cobalt. 2,3-Dimethylphenoxyacetic acid has shown inhibitory effects on leukemia cells, HLA-60 human leukemia cells and HL-60 human leukemia cells. It is currently being investigated for use in cancer treatment.
