CAS 53427-93-3: 2(1H)-Pyridinone, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-

3-Methyl-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinone is a medicinal compound that has shown promising results in inhibiting kinases, which are enzymes that play a crucial role in cell signaling pathways. This compound has been studied extensively for its potential as an anticancer agent due to its ability to induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells. It is a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C and has been found to be effective against various types of tumors, including breast cancer and lung cancer. 3-Methyl-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinone is an analog of the Chinese herbal medicine Shikonin and has also shown activity as a urinary bladder tumor inhibitor. Its potential as a therapeutic agent for cancer treatment makes it an exciting area of research in the field of medicinal chemistry.
