General description

4-Nitro-1,8-naphthalic anhydride is a yellow crystalline nitrocompound widely used in the field of dye synthesis and cellular imaging.

Application

4-Nitro-1,8-naphthalic anhydride can be used:
  • As a precursor to synthesize N-phenyl-amino-1,8-naphthalimide based fluorescent chemosensor to detect nitro-antibiotics at ppb level.
  • As a building block to synthesize shape memory polymers due to its ability to undergo Diels-Alder reaction
  • As a fluorochrome substrate for nitrogen reductase for noninvasive hypoxia imaging in cancer detection.
  • As a precursor to synthesize amphiphilic naphthalimide dyes with good color brilliancy.

A lysosome-targeting fluorescent off-on probe has been developed by one-step synthesis for detecting lysosomal nitroreductase and hypoxia. The probe is constructed by incorporating morpholine (a lysosome-targeting unit) into 4-nitro-1,8-naphthalimide (as a fluorochrome and specific substrate for nitroreductase), and the detection

In this study, a novel 6-(allylamino)-2-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione (NI3) was synthesized and characterized. Its copolymer with styrene was also obtained. The photophysical characteristics of NI3 were investigated in organic solvents and the results were compared with those of its structural analogue, 2-allyl-6-((2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)amino)-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione

A nitroreductase-encoded gene from an efficient nitro-reducing bacterium Streptomyces mirabilis DUT001, named snr, was cloned and heterogeneously expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified Streptomyces nitroreductase SNR was a homodimer with an apparent subunit molecular weight of 24 kDa and preferred NADH

DNA duplexes are stabilized by many interactions, one of which is stacking interactions between the nucleic acid bases. These interactions are useful for designing small molecules that bind to DNA. Naphthalimide intercalators have been shown to be valuable anti-cancer agents
