ChEBI: CCCP is a member of the class of monochlorobenzenes that is benzene substituted by 2-(1,3-dinitrilopropan-2-ylidene)hydrazinyl and chloro groups at positions 1 and 3, respectively. It is a mitochondrial depolarizing agent that induces reactive oxygen species mediated cell death. It has a role as a geroprotector, an antibacterial agent and an ionophore. It is a nitrile, a hydrazone and a member of monochlorobenzenes. It derives from a hydrazonomalononitrile.
