Product Information

• Name: 3-(Morpholin-4-yl)propanal
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-(Morpholin-4-yl)propanal is a reactive compound that belongs to the group of fatty acids. It is an alkylating agent and has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, which plays an important role in the metabolism of alcohol. The inhibition of this enzyme leads to increased levels of acetaldehyde, which may be responsible for 3-(morpholin-4-yl)propanal's anti-cancer properties. 3-(Morpholin-4-yl)propanal also inhibits glyoxalase I, which is involved in detoxification of methylglyoxal, a reactive compound that can cause damage to proteins, lipids, and DNA. 3-(Morpholin-4-yl)propanal has been shown to have a protective effect against Alzheimer's disease by preventing protein aggregation in the brain.
