2-(Methylamino)benzaldehyde, also known as o-methylaminobenzaldehyde, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an aldehyde functional group and a methylamino group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring with a methylamino group (-NH(CH3)2) at the ortho position relative to the aldehyde group (-CHO). This compound typically appears as a yellow to brown liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. 2-(Methylamino)benzaldehyde is used in various applications, including organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and dyes. It may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

2-(Methylamino)benzaldehyde is a molecule that has been shown to be an effective radioprotector and chemopreventative agent. It has been shown to inhibit the production of reactive oxygen species, which are involved in the initiation of tumorigenesis and cancer. 2-(Methylamino)benzaldehyde prevents the polymerization of DNA by reacting with the hydrochloric acid, forming benzimidazole compounds that are then excreted through urine. These compounds have also been shown to inhibit hyaluronic acid synthesis and chondroitin sulfate synthesis, which may play a role in preventing radiation-induced damage. 2-(Methylamino)benzaldehyde may also act as a caspase inhibitor by inhibiting the activation of these enzymes, which are involved in apoptosis.
