General description

o-Vanillin is a building block commonly used in the synthesis of schiff-base ligands.

Application

o-Vanillin has been used to study the solvent-free reaction between o-vanillin and p-toluidine using NMR, DSC and XRD analysis. It was used in the synthesis of new ligand for Fe(III) and Al(lII).

Biochem/physiol Actions

o-Vanillin induces DNA damage as detected by comet assay.

Vanillin (VAN) and cinnamaldehyde (CIN) are dietary antimutagens that effectively inhibit both induced and spontaneous mutations. We have shown previously that VAN and CIN reduced the spontaneous mutant frequency in Salmonella TA104 (hisG428, rfa, DeltauvrB, pKM101) by approximately 50% and
