Description

2-Methylbenzenesulfonamide is a chemical compound that has been shown to induce apoptosis in bladder cancer cells. It is an acid conjugate of the drug 2-methylbenzene-1,4-sulfonamide and it can be used for the treatment of bladder cancer. The compound binds to the apoptosis protein and inhibits its function, leading to cell death. The cytotoxic effects of 2-methylbenzenesulfonamide have been shown in short term toxicity studies in rats. In long term animal studies, this compound showed no adverse effects on the liver or kidneys, but did show some indication of reproductive toxicity. 2-Methylbenzenesulfonamide is not mutagenic and does not affect male fertility when given orally at doses up to 2000 mg/kg body weight for 90 days. 2-Methylbenzenesulfonamide binds to receptors on the surface of cancerous cells and induces apoptosis by inhib
