Product Information

• Name: 2-Nitro-4,5-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde
• Synonyms: 6-Nitro-1,3-benzodioxole-5-carboxaldehyde6-Nitro-piperonal3,4-(Methylenedioxy)-6-nitrobenzaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Nitro-4,5-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde (2NMB) is a molecule with a molecular weight of 188.24, an empirical formula of C8H8NO2 and a chemical structure consisting of a benzene ring attached to two nitro groups. 2NMB has been shown to bind to the dopamine β-hydroxylase enzyme in human serum and inhibit the production of dopa, which leads to a decrease in dopamine levels. It also inhibits the growth of staphylococcus, cryptococcus neoformans, and typhimurium. 2NMB also has been used as radiotracers for gyrase activity and can be used for asymmetric synthesis due to its piperonal group. The uptake of 2NMB by cells is dependent on its nucleophilic properties.
