7-Methoxycoumarin-4-acetic acid is a precursor to coumarin-type fluorescent reagents. It has been uses as fluorescent probe in preparation of two novel LysB29 selectively labeled fluorescent derivatives of human insulin, in the preparation of cell-penetrating peptide transportan 10 (tp10) and as fluorescent label for peptides.
Key intermidiate for the synthesis of fluorescence probes in chromatographic detection. Shows local anesthetic activity.
ChEBI: 7-methoxycoumarin-4-acetic acid is a monocarboxylic acid. It has a role as a fluorochrome. It is functionally related to a coumarin.
