3-(4-Fluorophenoxy)propan-1-ol

3-(4-Fluorophenoxy)propan-1-ol is a modification of the parent compound, 3-phenoxypropan-1-ol. The modification is atypical and has been shown to have anti-cancer properties. In addition, this compound has been shown to be an aromatase inhibitor, which prevents the conversion of androgens into estrogens. This may be due to its ability to inhibit the enzyme's activity on substrates such as dopamine, dimethylformamide, or evaporation. 3-(4-Fluorophenoxy)propan-1-ol has also been shown to have serotonin receptor binding profiles that are similar to those of phenoxy compounds such as butyrophenone or piperidine.
