2,2′-Dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone

Description:

2,2′-Dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, commonly referred to as BP-6, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes two hydroxyl groups and a methoxy group attached to a benzophenone backbone. This compound is typically a white to pale yellow crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. It exhibits strong ultraviolet (UV) absorption properties, making it useful as a UV filter in various applications, including cosmetics, plastics, and coatings, to protect products from UV degradation. The presence of hydroxyl groups enhances its ability to absorb UV radiation, while the methoxy group contributes to its overall stability and effectiveness. Additionally, 2,2′-Dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone is known for its antioxidant properties, which can help in preventing oxidative damage in formulations. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many chemical substances, due to potential skin and eye irritation.

2,2'-Dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone

CAS: 131-53-3

2,2'-Dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (DHMB) is a chemical compound used in the manufacturing of sunscreens. It is also used as an antioxidant and antiinflammatory agent in topical preparations. The genotoxic effects of DHMB are well documented, but it is unclear whether these effects are due to UV radiation or other mechanisms. DHMB has been shown to be toxic to cells in vivo and in vitro. There have been reports of skin cancer developing on the ears of rats following chronic exposure to this chemical. DHMB binds to the estrogen receptor, which may be responsible for its genotoxic activity. This chemical has also been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli by binding with fatty acids on the cell membrane surface. DHMB is used for wastewater treatment because it can bind with heavy metals and remove them from water sources.
