Description

Ethyl 2-acetylpent-4-enoate is an amide with a methylene group that has been alkylated. It is a synthetic compound that was synthesized by reacting ethyl acetoacetate with phenyllithium, followed by reaction with bromoethane. Ethyl 2-acetylpent-4-enoate has shown antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria and is also active against the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. This compound has been shown to be a novel agent for the treatment of cancer. It inhibits DNA synthesis in cancer cells through implosion and alkylation reactions with gold nanoparticles, which are generated from the decomposition of hydrogen gas at high pressure and temperature. The anticancer properties of this compound have been attributed to its ability to generate a dipole that causes cavitation and carbon-carbon bond breaking, leading to cell death.
