Description

5-Methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde (5MFBA) is a potential anticancer compound that has been shown to inhibit the growth of pancreatic cancer cells. 5MFBA is formed by the reaction of methoxybenzene and trifluoromethyl bromide in the presence of copper chloride, which acts as a dehydrogenase. This compound also has prognostic and clinicopathological implications in patients with pancreatic cancer, as well as staining properties in tissues. 5MFBA modulates biological function via reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which induces cell apoptosis. Research on this compound has been done on cancer tissues from various organs, including breast and prostate cancers.
