CAS 27869-04-1: Methanesulfonyl chloride, cyano-

Cyanomethanesulfonyl chloride is the precursor to a series of pharmaceuticals that are tyrosine kinase inhibitors. These compounds inhibit the growth and proliferation of cells by binding to the receptor tyrosine kinase, preventing it from activating and regulating other proteins. Cyanomethanesulfonyl chloride has been shown to inhibit inflammatory bowel disease in animal models. It also inhibits the production of amines and chloride, which may be responsible for its anti-inflammatory effects.
