Deca-2,4,6,8-tetraenal is a cell lysis inhibitor that has been shown to suppress the polymerization of unsaturated hydrocarbons. It has also been shown to inhibit the polymerization of polyunsaturated fatty acids in tissues. Deca-2,4,6,8-tetraenal inhibits the synthesis of proteins by binding to the amino group in protein molecules. This process prevents cells from synthesizing new proteins and leads to cell death. Deca-2,4,6,8-tetraenal is used as a fluorescent probe for benthic organisms and for measuring the rate of reactions between aldehydes and formyl groups. This chemical can be synthetically produced by reacting acetone with maleic anhydride. Deca-2,4,6,8-tetraenal can also be isolated from petroleum ether or coal tar.
