5-Nitroindole-2-carboxylic acid is a synthetic molecule that has been shown to have potent inhibitory activity against various kinases. The compound inhibits the growth of cancer cells by inhibiting platelet-derived growth factor, which promotes the proliferation of cells. The 5-nitroindole-2-carboxylic acid also inhibits replication of DNA and RNA in cancer cells. It is structurally related to sorafenib, which is used for the treatment of liver and kidney cancers. 5NICA inhibits cancer cell growth by binding to kinase molecules that are involved in cell division and preventing them from functioning properly.
