Product Information

• Name: 2-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)acetaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)acetaldehyde is a bioactive molecule that has shown anti-cancer properties in vitro and in vivo. It inhibits the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase, an enzyme responsible for the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes. This inhibition leads to accumulation of acetaldehyde in cells and induces apoptosis or cell death by caspase-independent mechanisms. 2-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)acetaldehyde also has been shown to induce acidolysis reactions in the presence of acid. This reaction mechanism may be due to protonation of the phenolic hydroxyl group. The resulting 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetic acid analog can inhibit cells' proliferation and induce apoptosis by blocking protein synthesis and cell division.
