Product Information

• Name: Naphthalene-2-carboximidamide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Naphthalene-2-carboximidamide is a benzamidine derivative that interacts with the active site of serine proteases. It was shown to have potent inhibitory potency against a number of proteinases, including urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and cathepsin G. The interaction of naphthalene-2-carboximidamide with uPA was specific and led to inhibition of its catalytic activity. Naphthalene-2-carboximidamide has been tested in clinical trials for the treatment of influenza.
