p-Toluenesulfonamide
Based on 1 Customer Validation
p-Toluenesulfonamide is a small-molecule anticancer agent and plasticizer. p-Toluenesulfonamide exerts antitumor activity by inducing lysosomal membrane permeabilization, cathepsin B release and lysosome-mediated cell death. p-Toluenesulfonamide modulates cholesterol distribution in lipid rafts of tumor cell membranes and the Akt/mTOR/p70S6K pathway. p-Toluenesulfonamide shows activity against various cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer and tongue squamous cell carcinoma; intrapleural injection effectively reduces malignant pleural effusion without causing pleural adhesion. p-Toluenesulfonamide is also the main degradation product of the disinfectant Chloramine-T (HY-B0959) in water. p-Toluenesulfonamide facilitates the localization of fluorescent probes to the endoplasmic reticulum. p-Toluenesulfonamide can be used in cancer-related research.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
p-Toluenesulfonamide (3333 μg/plate; 2 days) shows no mutagenicity in *Salmonella typhimurium* strains TA98, TA100 or TA102 with or without exogenous metabolic activation[2].
p-Toluenesulfonamide (1.3-2.0 mg/mL) does not induce chromosome aberrations in cultured Chinese hamster lung cells with or without exogenous metabolic activation, but exhibits cytotoxicity at high concentrations[2].
p-Toluenesulfonamide (25-250 µg/L; 7 days) can be reliably quantified in wastewater from a sewage treatment plant in Athens, Greece, using the developed SPE-LC-MS/MS pseudo SRM analytical method, with an LOD of 11 ng/L and an LOQ of 35 ng/L[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
p-Toluenesulfonamide (750-30,000 ppm; oral administration; ad libitum feeding; 2 weeks) causes significant dose-dependent reductions in body weight and body weight gain in F344/N rats, along with an increase in relative kidney weight without associated histopathological lesions[2].
p-Toluenesulfonamide (750-30,000 ppm; oral administration; ad libitum access; 15 days) causes a significant decrease in body weight in both male and female B6C3F1/N mice in the high-dose group; meanwhile, starting from the 1,500 ppm dose, the absolute and relative kidney weights of female mice increase in a dose-dependent manner, without associated histopathological lesions[2].
p-Toluenesulfonamide (625-10,000 ppm; oral administration; ad libitum access; 14 weeks) induces dose-dependent body weight changes in F344/NTac rats. Male rats exhibit increased relative kidney weights starting from the 2,500 ppm dose, without associated histopathological lesions[2].
p-Toluenesulfonamide (625-10,000 ppm; oral administration; ad libitum access; 14 weeks) via feed to B6C3F1/N mice for 14 weeks increases the relative lung weight in high-dose male B6C3F1/N mice, and elevates the absolute kidney weight, relative kidney weight and relative liver weight in female mice[2].
