Product Description
7-Methoxy-1-tetralone is a potent antineoplastic/anticancer agent. 7-Methoxy-1-tetralone inhibits cancer cell proliferation/growth and migration, and causes apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HCC). 7-Methoxy-1-tetralone can reduce the protein levels of NF-κB, matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP2)/MMP9, and p-AKT. 7-Methoxy-1-tetralone has anticancer effect in nude mice and has no effect on body weight and liver and spleen organ index.
7-Methoxy-1-tetralone (CAS 6836-19-7) is a potent antitumor agent. It is an impurity of Agomelatine, which is a melatoninergic agonist and selective antagonist of 5-HT2C receptors. This compound is a key intermediate in organic and medicinal chemistry and has been studied for its antitumorigenic properties. It has a molecular formula of C11H12O2 and a molecular weight of 176.21.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Anticancer; NF-κB;matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP2)/MMP9; p-AKT.
The primary target of 7-Methoxy-1-tetralone is associated with its antitumor activity. It has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in subcutaneously implanted tumor models with HepG2 cells. As an impurity of Agomelatine, it is related to melatoninergic and serotonergic signaling pathways. The compound does not have a well-defined receptor target but exerts its effects through antitumor mechanisms.
ln Vitro
7-Methoxy-1-tetralone (31.25-1000 μM; 48 h) suppresses LO2 and HepG2 cell growth [1]. HepG2 cells exposed to 40 μM, 100 μM, or 250 μM of 7-Methoxy-1-tetralone for 48 hours experience apoptosis, and the expression levels of c-Met, p-AKT, AKT, NF-κB, MMP2, and MMP9 proteins are regulated in the cells. [1].
In vitro, 7-Methoxy-1-tetralone demonstrates antitumor activity. It has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in cell-based assays. The compound is used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis. However, detailed in vitro activity data, including IC50 values, are not consistently reported in the available literature. The compound is primarily studied for its antitumor properties and as a synthetic intermediate.
ln Vivo
In HepG2 cell subcutaneously implanted tumor models, 7-Methoxy-1-tetralone (80, 120, or 160 mg/kg/d; intraperitoneal injection; 19 doses total) suppresses tumor growth [1].
In vivo, 7-Methoxy-1-tetralone (80, 120, or 160 mg/kg/d; ip; 19 doses in total) inhibits tumor growth in subcutaneously implanted tumor models with HepG2 cells. The compound demonstrates dose-dependent antitumor activity in vivo. However, detailed pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data are limited in the available literature.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for 7-Methoxy-1-tetralone are not typically performed, as it is primarily studied for its antitumor activity and used as a synthetic intermediate. Quality control assays involve HPLC to verify purity and identity. The compound is also tested for solubility and stability under standard storage conditions. It is soluble in chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol.

Experimental Results: demonstrated anti-proliferative activity of MT on LO2 and HepG2 cells.
In vitro cellular assays for 7-Methoxy-1-tetralone involve testing its antitumor activity against cancer cell lines. Cells (e.g., HepG2) are treated with serial dilutions of the compound (10-200 µM) for 48-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CCK-8 assays. The compound demonstrates concentration-dependent antitumor activity. However, detailed protocols are not well established in the available literature.

Additional Infomation
7-Methoxy-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthone belongs to the tetrahydronaphthyl group of compounds. This study aimed to investigate the antiproliferative and antimigration effects of 7-methoxy-1-tetrahydronaphthone (MT) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. HCC cell viability was detected using the MTT assay; HCC cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry; HCC cell migration ability was assessed using a scratch assay; protein expression levels were detected by Western blot; the in vivo antitumor effect of MT was tested in a BALB/c nude mouse model, and pathological changes in tumor tissues were assessed by immunohistochemistry. Results showed that MT treatment significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of HepG2 cells and induced HepG2 cell apoptosis. Western blot experiments showed that MT treatment inhibited the protein expression levels of c-Met, phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT), NF-κB, and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2)/MMP9 in HepG2 cells. Further in vivo animal experiments showed that MT treatment inhibited tumor growth of HepG2 cells in nude mice, but had no effect on body weight or liver and spleen organ indices. Immunohistochemical analysis of the dissected tumor tissues showed that MT treatment significantly inhibited the protein expression levels of NF-κB, MMP9, MMP2 and p-AKT. In summary, this study confirmed the anti-tumor effect of MT on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MT may inhibit the progression of HCC by regulating mediators related to proliferation and migration in HepG2 cells, including c-Met, p-AKT, NF-κB, MMP2 and MMP9. [1]
