3-(3,4-Dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-ylsulphonyl)benzoic acid

3-(3,4-Dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-ylsulfonyl)benzoic acid is a potent and selective inhibitor of prostate cancer cells. It has shown to be cytotoxic to prostate cancer cells by inhibiting the activity of dehydrogenase and other enzymes that are important for cell growth. The carboxylate group in 3-(3,4-Dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-ylsulfonyl)benzoic acid is positioned on the same side as the amide group and this hydrophobic nature allows it to bind to the surface of prostate cancer cells. This compound also inhibits cellular proliferation and cellular potency.
