 | Hazard Information | Back Directory |  | [Definition] 
 ChEBI: A dialdehyde that is propane substituted by two oxo groups at the terminal carbon atoms respectively. A biomarker of oxidative damage to lipids caused by smoking. It exists in vivo mainly in the enol form.
 |  | [Uses] 
 Propanedial, exists in horseradish hairy root taht has shown strong antioxidant capacity under arsenic stress which indicates possible use of Armoracia rusticana plants for phytoremediation.
 |  | [storage] 
 Unstable and easily polymerizes. The generation of MDA in situ from  the hydrolysis of its bis-acetals results in the formation of a number of side products, including β- alkoxyacrolein, 3,3-dialkoxypropionaldehyde, and fluorescent condensation polymers of MDA. Crystalline  sodium MDA, which is much more stable than MDA, is the recommended synthetic reagent. Sodium MDA,  if stored under nitrogen in a refrigerator, is stable for months.
