4-Nitrohydrocinnamonitrile is a chromatographically pure substance that is soluble in water. It has been shown to be a substrate for transport systems in the intestine, and it interacts with enzymes that are involved in the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. 4-Nitrohydrocinnamonitrile has also been shown to have high affinity for ligands, such as semenza and dodecyl azides. The reactivity of 4-nitrohydrocinnamonitrile can lead to its uptake by cells, which may be due to its ability to form covalent bonds with amino groups on proteins.
