CAS 1468-83-3: 3-Acetylthiophene

3-Acetylthiophene is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3C6H2S. It is a white solid that is soluble in water and alcohols, but not in ethers or chloroform. 3-Acetylthiophene has been shown to inhibit cell growth through competitive inhibition of the cationic surfactant cetrimide, which blocks the formation of micelles and destabilizes the cell membrane. This process causes DNA oxidation and leads to the production of reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide. 3-Acetylthiophene also inhibits metal ion-catalyzed reactions by competing with them for binding sites on functional groups.
