1-Indanone is an oxidation product of indan, a component of fuels, solvents and varnishes. 1-Indanone is also a metabolite of Thalidomide that has been shown to inhibit the attachment of tumor cells to concanavalin A coated plastic surfaces.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
