4-Ethylbenzaldehyde

4-Ethylbenzaldehyde is an aldehyde type organic compound with an almond-like odor. 4-Ethylbenzaldehyde is naturally present in various foods such as grilled meat, black tea, peanuts, etc. 4-Ethylbenzaldehyde has significant effects in controlling plant parasitic nematodes. 4-Ethylbenzaldehyde has genotoxicity and potential for liver damage in zebrafish models^[1][2]. In Vitro:4-Ethylbenzaldehyde (0-250 μg/mL, 48 h) completely kills Meloidogyne incognita at a rate of 100% at 250μg/mL with median lethal concentration (LC₅₀) and 95% lethal concentration (LC₉₅) of 33 μg/mL and 88 μg/mL respectively^[1].
4-Ethylbenzaldehyde (150 μg/mL, 48 h) reduces the hatching rate of nematode eggs by 99%^[1].
4-Ethylbenzaldehyde (1 mL/liter) completely inhibits nematode infection (the number of root knots) and reproduction (the number of eggs)^[1].
4-Ethylbenzaldehyde (2.75-11 mg/L) significantly induces micronucleus formation in zebrafish in all concentration groups, and there was no concentration-dependent effect^[2].
4-Ethylbenzaldehyde (11 mg/L) causes severe fatty infiltration in the liver of zebrafish^[2].
