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%

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

Pseudomonas sp. strain CBS3 was able to utilize 4-chlorophenylacetic acid as the sole source of carbon and energy. When this strain was grown with 4-chlorophenylacetic acid, homoprotocatechuic acid was found to be an intermediate which was further metabolized by the
