AFMK
- CAS No.: 52450-38-1
- Formula:C13H16N2O4
- Molecular Weight:264.28
IUPAC Name: N-(3-(2-formamido-5-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxopropyl)acetamide
InChIKey: JYWNYMJKURVPFH-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: CC(NCCC(C1=CC(OC)=CC=C1NC=O)=O)=O
Biological Activity: AFMK, antioxidant metabolite of Melatonin, attenuates X-ray-induced oxidative damage to DNA, proteins and lipids in mice. AFMK is a poorer scavenger. The pKa of AFMK at physiological pH is 8.7. Antioxidant capacity[1][2]. AFMK improves the anti-tumor effect of Gemcitabine in PANC-1 cells through the modulation of apoptotic pathway[3].
