4-Cyanopyridine is a nucleophilic compound that forms a complex molecule with chloride. It has potent antiproliferative activity and structural analysis metrics have shown its potential to be an anticancer drug. 4-Cyanopyridine selectively targets cancer cells that overexpress the surface protein CD44, which facilitates cellular adhesion and migration, by binding to the cysteine residues on CD44. This leads to cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, or necrosis depending on the cell type. 4-Cyanopyridine also inhibits the growth of human carcinoma cell lines at low doses when used in combination with other drugs such as tamoxifen.
