Cyclopentanecarboxaldehyde

Cyclopentanecarbaldehyde is a reactive molecule that is used as a ligand in coordination chemistry. It has been shown to bind to the toll-like receptor and may be useful for treating autoimmune diseases. Cyclopentanecarbaldehyde binds with nitrogen atoms in the active site of chelate ligands, which can cause changes in coordination geometry. This reaction mechanism is similar to that of other heterocycles such as 2-picolylhydrazine and 4-picolylhydrazine, which have been shown to be effective in treating Parkinson's disease.
