Description and Uses
2-Hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA), also known as salicylamide, is a potent γKA scavenger that scavenges γKAs 980-fold faster than the formation of γKA protein adducts and therefore protects cells from the deleterious effects of γKA adducts. 2-HOBA is currently being developed as a nutritional supplement to help protect against the development of conditions associated with dicarbonyl electrophile formation, such as the cognitive decline observed with Mild Cognitive Impairment or Alzheimer's disease.
2-Hydroxybenzylamine is a potent γ-ketoaldehyde scavenger that has been shown to protects cardiac sodium channel (NaV1.5) from oxidant-induced inactivation.
