Product Information

• Name: 4-(Benzyloxy)-5-methoxy-2-nitrobenzaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-(Benzyloxy)-5-methoxy-2-nitrobenzaldehyde (BOMBA) is an amide with affinity for microtubules. It has been shown to interact with the microtubule lattice and inhibit the polymerization of tubulin. This leads to a decrease in cell viability and cytotoxicity, as well as a decrease in tumor size. In vivo studies have demonstrated that BOMBA inhibits tumor growth by inducing thrombosis and coagulation, which results in reduced blood flow to the tumor. The mechanism of action of BOMBA is thought to be due to its ability to form sulfamates, which are known for their anti-coagulant activity.
