Naphthalene-1,4-dipropionic acid disodium salt is used as a reagent in the synthesis of coordination networks with potential applications in drug delivery and catalysis. Additionally, it has been studied for its antimicrobial properties against various pathogens.
Uses
NDP is a precursor to NDPO2 in the presence of1O2. NDP is a water-soluble 1,4-disubstituted naphthalene (NDP) that readily forms an endoperoxide (NDPO2) in the presence of singlet oxygen (1O2). Its thermal decomposition serves as an extracellular chemical source of 1O2. Supplied with a procedure for NDPO2 generation.
