CAS 103-16-2: Monobenzone
Description:Monobenzone, also known as monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C13H12O2. It is primarily recognized for its use in dermatological applications, particularly as a depigmenting agent in the treatment of skin conditions such as vitiligo. Monobenzone functions by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase, which is crucial for melanin production in melanocytes, leading to a reduction in skin pigmentation. The substance appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is typically insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone. Its stability is influenced by light and heat, necessitating careful storage conditions. While it is effective for its intended use, monobenzone can cause side effects, including skin irritation and increased sensitivity to sunlight. Due to its potent effects on skin pigmentation, its use is often regulated, and it is essential for users to follow medical guidance when using products containing this compound.
