Description

2,3,3',4'-Tetrachlorobiphenyl is an inhibitor that has been shown to induce apoptosis in human and Chinese hamster cancer cells. It inhibits the activity of kinases, which are enzymes that play a critical role in regulating cell growth and division. The inhibition of these enzymes leads to the activation of apoptotic pathways, resulting in cell death. Additionally, 2,3,3',4'-Tetrachlorobiphenyl has been found to inhibit the uptake of d-xylose by cells and decrease protein synthesis. This compound has potential medicinal applications for the treatment of tumors and cancers. It can be detected in urine samples and is considered a marker for exposure to environmental pollutants.
