Product Information

• Name: 3-Nitrophthalic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Nitrophthalic acid is an organic compound that has been used in biological studies. It has been shown to bind to DNA and RNA, which may be due to hydrogen bonding interactions with the nitrogen atoms. 3-Nitrophthalic acid is synthesized by reacting sodium carbonate with trifluoroacetic acid, resulting in a carboxylate group. This compound has photochemical properties and can be used as a photosensitizer for the treatment of certain forms of cancer. 3-Nitrophthalic acid reacts with oxygen and generates singlet oxygen, which results in cellular damage.
