1-[4-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)phenyl]guanidine

1-[4-(2-Oxo-2-phenyethyl)phenyl]guanidine is a small molecule compound characterized chemically as a guanidine derivative attached to a phenacyl group. It belongs to the class of stilbenes, organic compounds containing a 1,2-diphenylethylene moiety. The molecular formula is C15H15N3O with an average molecular weight of approximately 253.3 g/mol. Mechanistically, it acts as an inhibitor of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), which plays roles in processes such as fibrinolysis and tissue remodeling. This inhibition suggests potential utility in modulating proteolytic activity related to disease states involving uPA. The compound is experimental and has not been approved for clinical use or marketed under any brand names. There are no known clinical trials or approved indications associated with this drug at present.
