N-Methyl-1-(methylthio)-2-nitroethenamine

N-Methyl-1-methylthio-2-nitroethylemeamine (MTNE) is a synthetic amine that can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of many other organic compounds. MTNE is also a potential treatment for cancer cells because it has been shown to inhibit the growth of prostate and pancreatic cancer cells. The mechanism of this inhibition is not yet well understood, but it may be due to the hydroxyl group on MTNE's molecule that prevents hydrogen bonding with its target enzyme. This leads to the destruction of pancreatic lipase and an accumulation of fatty acids in the cell membrane, which eventually leads to cell death.
