Description

1-Naphthoic acid is a phenolic antioxidant that is used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. It has been shown to reduce the production of inflammatory cytokines and improve symptoms of bowel disease. 1-Naphthoic acid, as a fluorescence probe, can be used to detect and quantify hydroxycinnamic acids in biological fluids such as serum and urine. 1-Naphthoic acid also inhibits serine protease activity, which is involved in autoimmune diseases such as lupus erythematosus. It also inhibits the activity of hydrolytic enzymes that are associated with metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus. In addition, 1-naphthoic acid can act as an agonist at certain receptors including muscarinic receptors and α2A receptors. It has also been shown to increase levels of retinoic acid and inhibit the formation of hydrogen peroxide by bacteria like H. pylori due to its ability
