Description

2-(4-Methoxyphenoxy)propanoic acid is a polymerase chain inhibitor that is used to treat bowel disease. It inhibits the activity of enzymes involved in the synthesis of nucleosides, which are needed for DNA replication and repair. The drug also has anti-inflammatory effects, which may be due to its ability to inhibit inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). 2-(4-Methoxyphenoxy)propanoic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of human leukemia cells in vitro and to induce apoptosis.
