CAS 403-19-0: 2-Fluoro-4-nitrophenol

2-Fluoro-4-nitrophenol is an amide that has potent antitumor activity. It is a selective inhibitor of the protein kinase Raf (Akt), leading to inhibition of the growth of cancer cells in vitro. 2-Fluoro-4-nitrophenol also inhibits the proliferation of prostate cancer cells, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the production of growth factors and cytokines such as mcf-7 and nitrous oxide. The 2-fluoro-4-nitrophenol is cytotoxic because it inhibits DNA synthesis and prevents mitosis. The chemical structure consists of a nitro group (-NO2) on C6, a phenolic hydroxyl group (-OH) on C2, and a methylene group (-CH2-) on C3. This molecule binds covalently to proteins through its amino acid side chain at C6 and forms stable complexes with x-ray crystallography structures. It
