Product Information
2-(Hydroxymethyl)benzaldehyde (2HB) is a reactive aldehyde that is used as a cancer drug. It binds to the receptor in the cell membrane and inhibits fatty acid synthesis, which prevents cell division. 2HB has been shown to inhibit tumor growth by inhibiting chemokines, proteins that act as chemoattractants for immune cells. 2HB also inhibits the growth of cultured leukemia cells through crosslinking of DNA. This reaction can be enhanced by UV light, resulting in covalent bonds between adjacent nucleotides. The reaction mechanism for this process is called metathesis reactions.
