Product Information

• Name: 4-Methylisoquinoline
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Isomeric 4-methylisoquinoline is a molecule that is structurally similar to protopine and berberine chloride. It has been shown to be an effective photosensitizer for the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells, which can lead to DNA damage and cell death. The functional groups on this molecule are the chloro group, which is a halogen, and the isoquinoline ring system with two methyl groups. The chemistry of this compound involves alkylation, yielding a new compound with one less methyl group than the original molecule. This process is called enamine formation.
