Description

3-Methylphenanthrene is a compound that inhibits the reductase activity of aromatic hydrocarbons. 3-Methylphenanthrene has been shown to inhibit both bacterial and mammalian reductases, with interactive effects on the enzyme's substrate molecule. It also shows an inhibitory effect on axonal growth, which may be due to its ability to reduce fatty acid uptake, as well as its ability to interact with the aromatic hydrocarbon uptake system. 3-Methylphenanthrene is easily detected by spectrometry analyses and can be used as a substrate molecule for bacterial enzymes.
