Product Information

• Name: (3-Methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Methoxyphenylacetonitrile (3MPAN) is a small molecule that has been shown to inhibit the activity of kinases, which are enzymes that transfer phosphate groups from ATP onto other substrates. 3MPAN has been found to be selective for the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), with little or no effect on ERβ, and shows promise as a potential drug for hormone-dependent breast cancer. It also inhibits fatty acid synthesis and is active against some viruses. 3MPAN binds to the enzyme's ATP binding site and blocks phosphorylation by preventing access of ATP. This prevents DNA synthesis and protein synthesis, leading to cell death.
