Cyclobutanecarbonitrile (CBC) is a chemical compound that contains a nitrile group. It is the simplest of the nitriles and can be produced by the oxidation of cyclobutanol with trichloroacetic acid. CBC has been shown to have antiviral, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties in animal studies. Cyclobutanecarbonitrile also has been found to inhibit the growth of autoimmune disease cells by interfering with their ability to produce cytokines. The reaction time for CBC is 10 seconds at room temperature, which is considered fast for a chemical reaction.
