Product Information

• Name: 8-Nitro-7-quinolinecarboxaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 8-Nitro-7-quinolinecarboxaldehyde is an isomer of the quinoline derivative 8-nitro-3,4-dihydroquinoline. It has been shown to have colorectal carcinoma (CRC) therapeutic properties in mice and rats. 8-Nitro-7-quinolinecarboxaldehyde inhibits the growth of CRC cells by mediating cell death and inhibiting tumor invasion. This agent also has a role in the treatment of other cancers such as prostate cancer, breast cancer, and leukemia. 8NQCA is a prodrug that can be activated by the addition of ethenyl radicals generated from electrolysis or tetradentate chelating agents such as EDTA. The agent also inhibits DNA synthesis by interfering with the replication process.
