Product Description
1-Naphthalenemethanol is a natural compound with anti-bacterial effect found in the roots of Annona senegalensis.
1-Naphthalenemethanol (CAS 4780-79-4), also known as 1-Hydroxymethylnaphthalene, is a natural compound with antibacterial effects found in the roots of Annona senegalensis. It is a hydroxyl-substituted naphthalene derivative and a photolysis product of 1-naphthaleneacetic acid. This compound serves as a natural product with antimicrobial properties and is used in research applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of 1-Naphthalenemethanol is bacterial pathogens. It exhibits antibacterial activity against various bacterial strains. The compound does not have a defined enzymatic or receptor target but exerts its effects through direct antimicrobial mechanisms. As a natural product extracted from Annona senegalensis, its antibacterial activity has been characterized in microbiological studies. The exact mechanism of action is not fully elucidated but is attributed to its lipophilic nature and ability to disrupt bacterial cell membranes.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 1-Naphthalenemethanol demonstrates antibacterial activity against various bacterial strains. Antibacterial assays have shown that the compound effectively inhibits bacterial growth. The compound is extracted from the root bark of Annona senegalensis and has been characterized for its antimicrobial effects. The antibacterial activity is concentration-dependent and has been demonstrated in standard microbiological assays. The compound's activity is attributed to its ability to interact with bacterial cell membranes.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity of 1-Naphthalenemethanol has not been extensively characterized. The compound is primarily studied for its antibacterial properties in vitro. As a natural product, it has been identified in the roots of Annona senegalensis, but detailed in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies in animal models are limited. Further in vivo studies would be needed to fully characterize its therapeutic potential and systemic effects.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for 1-Naphthalenemethanol typically involve antibacterial susceptibility testing. Bacterial strains (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli) are cultured in appropriate media and treated with serial dilutions of the compound. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is determined after 16-24 hours of incubation at 37°C using the broth microdilution method. Cell viability is assessed by measuring optical density at 600 nm or by colony counting on agar plates. The compound demonstrates concentration-dependent antibacterial activity.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for 1-Naphthalenemethanol involve antibacterial activity testing against various bacterial strains. Bacterial cultures are grown in Mueller-Hinton broth and treated with serial dilutions of the compound (ranging from 0.1 to 1000 µg/mL). After 24 hours of incubation at 37°C, the optical density at 600 nm is measured to determine bacterial growth inhibition. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) are calculated from the dose-response curves. The compound shows concentration-dependent antibacterial activity.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for 1-Naphthalenemethanol are limited, as the compound is primarily a natural product with antibacterial properties. For antibacterial efficacy testing, animal models of bacterial infection (e.g., murine septicemia models) could be used. Animals would be treated with the compound via oral or intraperitoneal administration at various doses, and survival rates or bacterial burden in target organs would be assessed. However, detailed in vivo protocols are not well established for this compound, and most studies have focused on in vitro characterization.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism / Metabolites
1-Naphthylethanol is a known metabolite of 1-naphthaldehyde in the human body.
The pharmacokinetic properties of 1-Naphthalenemethanol include a molecular weight of 158.20 and a molecular formula of C₁₁H₁₀O. It is soluble in DMSO at 100 mg/mL (632.11 mM). For in vivo formulations, solubility in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% saline has been demonstrated at ≥2.5 mg/mL (15.80 mM). The compound is stable as a powder at -20°C for 3 years and at 4°C for 2 years. In solvent, it is stable at -80°C for 6 months and at -20°C for 1 month.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of 1-Naphthalenemethanol has not been extensively characterized. As a natural product extracted from plant sources, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. Standard toxicity studies would include assessment of acute oral toxicity, dermal irritation, and repeated-dose toxicity in animal models. The compound is intended for research use only and has not been approved for clinical use. Further toxicological studies would be needed to fully establish its safety profile for therapeutic applications.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
