2-Nitro-1-naphthol

개요2-Nitro-1-naphthol is an important organic compound with anti-inflammatory properties used as an analytical method for measuring albumin concentration and as an enzyme-labelled substrate in electrochemical immunoassays. The substance reacts with albumin to form a coloured complex which can be detected spectrophotometrically. It is also used as a model system for the study of inflammatory diseases and inhibits p38 kinase activity. In addition, a derivative of 2-Nitro-1-naphthol (4-nitro-1-naphthol) can be used to prepare chromogenic substrates for neutral or slightly acidic hydrolases.

용도2-Nitro-1-naphthol was employed as substrate for use in an amperometric 3-electrode system for the determination of alkaline phosphatase, the enzyme label most commonly used in electrochemical immunoassays. It was also used in the preparation of:di-(2-nitro-1-naphthyl) hydrogen phosphate1-(2′-methyl-3′-indenyl)-2-naphthylamine and -2-naphthol (axially chiral ligands)
