Product Information
- methyl 6-methoxy-2-naphthoate
Methyl 6-methoxynaphthalene-2-carboxylate is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of trimethyl compounds. It is an inhibitor of protein methyltransferases, specifically PTP1B and histone lysine methyltransferase (KMT). PTP1B is a phosphatase that removes phosphate groups from proteins and plays a role in the regulation of insulin secretion. KMTs are enzymes that transfer methyl groups to proteins, resulting in gene silencing. Methyl 6-methoxynaphthalene-2-carboxylate has been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth by inhibiting the activity of these two enzymes, which leads to reduced levels of effector proteins and clastogenic DNA damages. This compound also inhibits lysine methylation at the epigenome level, which alters gene expression.
