• Description: 5-Bromo-3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (5BDBA) is a chemical compound that can be used as a reactive dye and photochemical crosslinker in the preparation of polymers. 5BDBA has been shown to have chemoattractant properties for immune cells, such as activated T lymphocytes and neutrophils. It also has been shown to have an effect on β-cells in the pancreas and skin cells. This compound has been found to activate the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancer (NFκB), which leads to increased expression of chemoattractant protein (MCP). In 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, 5BDBA has been shown to induce accumulation of fatty acids by activating peroxisome proliferator activator receptor gamma.
