Product Information

• Name: 2-Methylphenoxyacetic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Methylphenoxyacetic acid is a small-molecule drug that acts as an inhibitor of the protein kinase C (PKC) enzyme. It binds to the active site of PKC and prevents it from phosphorylating other proteins, which ultimately leads to cell death. The PKC enzyme is a potential drug target for cancer and cardiovascular disease because it plays a role in both pathologies. 2-Methylphenoxyacetic acid has been shown to inhibit PKC in vitro and in vivo, with the latter being demonstrated using mathematical modeling and molecular dynamics simulations. 2-Methylphenoxyacetic acid also inhibits annexin II, which is believed to be involved in signal transduction pathways that lead to tumor growth. 2-Methylphenoxyacetic acid has been shown to bind to the hydroxyl group of phospholipids and form hydrogen bonds with amino acids that are important for protein–protein interactions or intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
