2-Etiel-3-O-sulphamoyl-estra-1,3,5(10),15-tetraen-3-ol-17 (C9) is ‘n nuwe,in silico-ontwerpte, antimitotiese 17-beta-estradiolderivaat. Dichloro-asetielsuur (DCA) inhibeer pirovaat dehydrogenase kinase ensiem aktiwiteit wat die vorming en vervoer van asetiel-KoA in die mitochondria inhibeer. Dit veroorsaak dat fermentasie prosesse, wat in kankerselle bevoordeel word, onderdruk word.
