9-Chloroanthracene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). This white solid exhibits a melting point of approximately 106°C and a boiling point of around 250°C. While insoluble in water, it readily dissolves in various organic solvents. Serving as a intermediate in compound synthesis, 9-Chloroanthracene has found utility in investigating biochemical effects, as well as facilitating the synthesis of diverse compounds. The precise mechanism by which 9-Chloroanthracene operates remains incompletely understood. Nonetheless, it is hypothesized to interact with DNA and other cellular components, leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS have the potential to induce oxidative damage in cells, ultimately resulting in cell death. Additionally, 9-Chloroanthracene has demonstrated the ability to interact with proteins and lipids, thereby influencing their structure and function.
