6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde is used as a diagnostic reagent in tumor studies involving aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes. In addition it is used in organic synthesis reactions forming fluorescent substrates for inhibition studies relating to hypertension and vascular inflammation. It is also used as intermediate of Nabumetone.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
