What is Clioquinol?


CAS No.: 130-26-7
Molecular Formula: C9H5ClINO
Clioquinol is an orally bioavailable, lipophilic, copper-binding, halogenated 8-hydroxyquinoline with antifungal, antiparasitic and abeyant antitumor activities. Clioquinol forms a abiding chelate with chestnut (copper (II) ions), which inhibits the chymotrypsin-like action of the proteasome; consequently, ubiquitinated proteins may accrue in bump cells, followed by bump corpuscle apoptosis and the inhibition of bump angiogenesis.

In addition, the clioquinol-copper circuitous appears to abatement the announcement of androgen receptors (AR) in animal copper-enriched prostate blight cells. Serum levels of chestnut are generally animated in patients with cancer; chestnut chelation may arrest copper-dependent endothelial corpuscle admeasurement and bump beard of angiogenic factors.
