General description

4-Chlorophenylacetic acid possess anticancer properties. It is a novel therapeutic agent which can be useful in prevention or treatment of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer. It acts as carbon and energy supplement and is degraded by Pseudomonas sp. strain CBS3.

Application

4-Chlorophenylacetic acid was used to study the mechanism of aerobic degradation of 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane by Ralstonia eutropha A5.

Evidence is presented demonstrating the ability of Ralstonia eutropha A5 to degrade 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDD) aerobically. Strain A5 was able to effect significant transformation of [(14)C]DDD: the hexane extractable radioactivity decreased to approximately 50% of the controls while more than 25%

Treatment of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer with selective estrogen selective modulators (SERMs) and, more recently, aromatase inhibitors has met with wide success. However, antagonism of estrogen receptor (ER) activity in breast carcinomas by SERMs such as tamoxifen has been associated with

We have investigated the effects of the low-toxic retinoid, all-trans retinoyl beta-glucuronide (RAG) alone and in combination with the phenylacetate (PA) derivative 4-chloro-phenylacetate (4-CPA) on the human neuroblastoma cell line, LA-N-5. In vitro studies demonstrated that RAG and 4-CPA treatments

In cell-free extracts from Pseudomonas sp. strain CBS3 the conversion of 4-chlorophenylacetate to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate was demonstrated. By Sephacryl S-200 chromatography two protein fractions, A and B, were obtained which both were essential for enzyme activity. Fe2+ and NADH were cofactors
