4-Methyl-1-naphthaldehyde is a chemical compound that is found in cigarette smoke and also has been detected in the microenvironment of pancreatic cancer cells. This substance is a precursor to the carcinogenic naphthalene, which reacts with ammonium nitrate to form nitrosoamines. 4-Methyl-1-naphthaldehyde inhibits tumor cell growth by binding to topoisomerase and inhibiting DNA synthesis. The molecule's ability to react with amines may be responsible for its inhibitory properties on tumor cells. The molecular orbital descriptor for this substance is 1,3,5,6,8,11,13,15,18–octahydroindolo[2′,3′:2″-c]benzofuro[3′,4′:5″-c]pyrrolo[1′,- 2″:1″']hexol.
