Description

Phenyl acetate is a phenol compound that has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Phenyl acetate was found to be more potent than benzoate at inhibiting the growth of malignant brain cells. It also inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by binding with basic proteins, which prevents the release of prostaglandin J2. This activity suggests that phenyl acetate may be useful in treating cancer, as well as inflammatory disorders such as arthritis and asthma. The structural analysis of phenyl acetate reveals that it has an intermolecular hydrogen bond between two phenyl groups, which is responsible for its antifungal activity.
