3-Amino-2-naphthoic acid (3AN) is a metabolite of gabapentin that is excreted in the urine. It has been shown to be present in the urine of patients with chronic kidney disease, and is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of this disease. 3AN has also been detected in carbon disulphide exposed rats, where it may contribute to renal damage. The biological properties of 3AN are not well understood, but it has been shown to have biochemical properties similar to those of gabapentin. 3AN is active against some bacteria and fungi, but not others. 3AN binds covalently to DNA, forming adducts that inhibit DNA synthesis and transcription. The fluorescence probe methyl anthranilate can be used as a fluorescent dye for detection of 3AN in biological samples.

1,4-Dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is a glycol ether that is used as a reagent in vitro for the study of inflammatory bowel disease. It has been shown to have inhibitory effects on polymerase chain reactions and human immunoglobulin synthesis in vitro. This compound also inhibits the activity of enzymes involved in inflammatory bowel disease, such as erythrocyte glutathione reductase, cytochrome p450, and myeloperoxidase. 1,4-Dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is an inhibitor molecule with a natural compound structure that binds to enzymes involved in inflammatory bowel disease to inhibit their function.

2,6-Naphthalenedisulfonic acid disodium salt is a luminophore that is soluble in water. This compound has been found to have antibacterial activity against the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The 2,6-naphthalenedisulfonic acid disodium salt is not active against Gram-negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It has been shown to be effective against Gram-positive bacteria by binding to the cell wall and inhibiting protein synthesis. The 2,6-naphthalenedisulfonic acid disodium salt may also be responsible for the antimicrobial activity of copper salts and other antibacterial agents.

6-Methoxy-2-naphthol is a synthetic compound. It has been shown to be an effective antibacterial agent against Gram-positive bacteria when tested in vitro. 6-Methoxy-2-naphthol also inhibits methyltransferase activity and can be used in the treatment of cancer. The optical properties of 6-Methoxy-2-naphthol have been studied extensively, and it has been found to have strong absorption bands at 350 nm and 575 nm, making it a potential candidate for photodynamic therapy.

1,3-Dihydroxynaphthalene is an organic compound that has been shown to inhibit HIV infection in vitro. The optimum concentration of 1,3-dihydroxynaphthalene for inhibition of HIV infection is 0.5% (w/v). This compound can be synthesized by the reaction of epoxy and a sulfonamide drug. In addition, 1,3-dihydroxynaphthalene has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and can be used as a potential treatment for metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus.
