Description

2,3,3',4',6-Pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB-126) is an inhibitor of tumor growth and cancer cell proliferation. It has been shown to induce apoptosis in Chinese hamster ovary cells and inhibit protein kinase C activity. PCB-126 is an analog of caffeine and has been found in human urine samples. This compound also exhibits anticancer properties by inhibiting the growth of tumors through suppression of angiogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels that supply nutrients to cancer cells. Additionally, PCB-126 has been shown to inhibit the secretion of oxytocin, which may contribute to its anticancer effects. Overall, PCB-126 is a potent inhibitor with promising potential for cancer treatment.
