Description

2,2',3,3'-Tetrachlorobiphenyl is an inhibitor that has been shown to have anticancer properties. It inhibits the growth of tumor cells by blocking the activity of protein kinases, which are enzymes that regulate cell division and proliferation. This compound has been tested in Chinese hamster ovary cells and has been found to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Additionally, 2,2',3,3'-Tetrachlorobiphenyl has analog inhibitors that have been tested in human urine samples and have shown potential as anticancer agents. These analogs inhibit cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which play a crucial role in regulating the cell cycle. The inhibition of CDKs leads to the suppression of cancer cell growth and division, making this compound a promising candidate for future cancer treatments.
