1,3-Dihydroxynaphthalene is a dye intermediate forming stable colors when applied with particular mordants and in mixtures with other oxidizing dyes. This specific reagent is intended for the quantitative colorimetric determination of alduronic acids, such as glucuronic acid from urine. The mutagenicity of ozonation derivatives of 1,3-dihydroxynaphthalene against several Salmonella typhimurium strains has been studied.
Application
1,3-Dihydroxynaphthalene is utilized in carbohydrate chromatography, sometimes in conjunction with resorcinol. It has been used incorporated into a thin-layer electrophoretic method for the analysis of biomass degradation products which contain comprising mono-, oligo- and polysaccharides, and their derivatives, in addition to phenolic compounds.
Preparation Note
1,3-Dihydroxynaphthalene is soluble in ethanol (50 mg/ml), with heat as needed, yielding a clear to slightly hazy, colorless to orange-brown solution. It is also soluble in water and ether.
The mutagenicity of products formed by ozonation of naphthoresorcinol in aqueous solution was assayed with Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97, TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA104 in the presence and absence of S9 mix from phenobarbital- and 5,6-benzoflavone-induced rat liver. Ozonated naphthoresorcinol
The NCI chemical database has been screened using in silico docking to identify novel inhibitors of NRH:quinone oxidoreductase 2 (NQO2). Compounds identified from the screen exhibit a diverse range of scaffolds and inhibitory potencies are generally in the micromolar range.

The RND family transporter TtgABC and its cognate repressor TtgR from Pseudomonas putida DOT-T1E were both shown to possess multidrug recognition properties. Structurally unrelated molecules such as chloramphenicol, butyl paraben, 1,3-dihydroxynaphthalene, and several flavonoids are substrates of TtgABC and activate
