Description

Tetrachlorophthalic anhydride (TCPA) is a reactive chemical that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory activity. TCPA has been found to inhibit the release of histamine from mast cells in humans, and it inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). TCPA has also been shown to have a toxic effect on human lymphocyte transformation, which may be due to its ability to induce apoptosis. The toxicity of TCPA was studied in rats and mice, where it was found that TCPA did not cause any significant changes in clinical pathology or hydroxyl group levels.

TCPA is used as a precursor for the synthesis of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), which is an antimicrobial agent. TFA is used for treating skin infections caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes. It can also be
