CAS 2740-81-0: 2-Chlorophenyl isothiocyanate

2-Chlorophenyl isothiocyanate

2-Chlorophenyl Isothiocyanate is a molecule that has been shown to have cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. It is believed to work by inducing apoptosis and modulating the expression of certain genes. 2-Chlorophenyl Isothiocyanate has also been shown to induce cell death in fibroblast cells, which may be due to its ability to polarize these cells and cause them to become more susceptible to oxidative stress. It also has the ability to react with DNA via a dihedral mechanism. The thermodynamic data for this compound are high, as it can form strong hydrogen bonds and hydrophilic interactions with water molecules. This molecule also contains functional groups such as carbonyl and thiocarbonyl, which are reactive in biological systems. 2-Chlorophenyl Isothiocyanate's reaction mechanism is believed to involve electron transfer from an electron rich site on the molecule (such as a carbonyl)
