CAS 82772-93-8: 2,6-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzaldehyde

2,6-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzaldehyde is a chemical compound that has been shown to inhibit the development of breast cancer in animals. It binds to the estrogen receptor, preventing it from binding to DNA and initiating cell division. This leads to the suppression of cellular proliferation, which is an essential process in tumor formation. 2,6-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzaldehyde has also been shown to bind to estradiol and prevent its binding to the estrogen receptor. This prevents estradiol from initiating cell proliferation and inhibits tumor growth. 2,6-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzaldehyde has also been shown to be an antiestrogenic agent by inhibiting the production of endogenous estrogens in cells.
