(@FahadShabbir)MOSCOW, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 30th Sep, 2025) A team of Russian researchers has synthesised a previously unknown organic compound based on benzoxazole that emits fluorescence and inhibits the growth of cancer cells. The compound, identified as 2-(3-(fluorosulfato)phenyl)benzoxazole, combines two key characteristics: suppressing malignant cell division and glowing under specific conditions. Scientists said this dual functionality could enable real-time monitoring in molecular biology and precision medicine, enhancing drug–cell interaction studies and supporting more effective therapy design. Their ability to influence cell division makes them promising candidates for the creation of new medicines. The newly synthesised compound demonstrated strong activity in vitro against prostate and breast adenocarcinoma cell lines.
