3-Fluoro-4-nitroaniline

3-Fluoro-4-nitroaniline is an asymptomatic infection that inhibits the growth of bacteria by blocking the synthesis of proteins. This drug binds to the hydroxyl group, which is part of the amine function, and forms a covalent bond to the amino function in bacterial ribosomes. 3-Fluoro-4-nitroaniline blocks the formation of a tetrahydropyran ring in bacterial cells, preventing them from growing and multiplying. 3-Fluoro-4-nitroaniline also has been shown to have anticancer properties. It can inhibit tumor cell proliferation by inhibiting DNA synthesis and protein synthesis. The anticancer effects are due to its ability to inhibit cancer cell growth through inhibition of cellular enzymes such as topoisomerase II and cytosolic ribonucleotide reductase.
