Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH)

Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) inhibitors and activators target enzymes that oxidize aldehydes to carboxylic acids. The human ALDH superfamily uses NAD+ as cofactor and includes cytosolic ALDH1A1 and mitochondrial ALDH2. ALDH2 removes acetaldehyde and lipid peroxidation products such as 4-hydroxynonenal. In 2008 the small-molecule activator Alda-1 increased ALDH2 activity and reduced ischemic damage in rat hearts. High ALDH1 activity was reported in 2007 as a marker of normal and malignant human mammary stem cells. NCT-501, NCT-505 and NCT-506 inhibit ALDH1A1 and are used in cancer stem cell studies. RV01 targets ALDH2, while dyclonine hydrochloride and the herbicide propachlor also inhibit ALDH isoforms.

    BODIPY aminoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal

    Synonyms: BAAA-DA

    BODIPY aminoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal is a stable precursor to BODIPY-aminoacetaldehyde, which serves as a fluorescent substrate for aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Under acidic conditions, it can be efficiently converted into BODIPY-aminoacetaldehyde, facilitating studies of ALDH activity and function. This reagent is valuable for applications in fluorescence microscopy, biochemical assays, and other research areas focused on enzymatic activity and metabolic pathways.
