3-Amino-6-methylbenzenesulfonamide is a growth factor that binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the factor receptor, which are proteins that regulate cellular activities. The binding of 3-Amino-6-methylbenzenesulfonamide to these receptors is reversible, meaning that it can be easily released from the receptors by hydrolysis. 3-Amino-6-methylbenzenesulfonamide has been shown to stimulate the production of kinases in cancer cells and also has antiangiogenic properties.

Applications 5-amino-2-methyl-benzenesulfonamide (cas# 6973-09-7) is a useful research chemical.
