Ref. 3D-LCA73551

Product Information

• Name: 1-Iodo-5-methoxynaphthalene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Iodo-5-methoxynaphthalene is a ligand that binds to the estrogen receptor. It has been shown to be an agonist of the estrogen receptor, which is a class of molecules that are involved in the development and progression of cancer. 1-Iodo-5-methoxynaphthalene has been shown to have affinity for the estrogen receptor and can be used as a tool for studying the effects of this receptor on breast cancer cells. The hydroxyl group on this molecule is able to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules, which may explain its affinity for binding to the estrogen receptor. 1-Iodo-5-methoxynaphthalene has been shown to induce cell death in breast cancer cells by binding to these receptors.
