Methyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate

Description:

Methyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate, also known as methyl pyrogallate, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure featuring a methoxy group and two hydroxyl groups on a benzene ring. It is a derivative of gallic acid and is commonly used in various applications, including as an antioxidant in food and cosmetic formulations due to its ability to scavenge free radicals. The compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. Its chemical properties include the ability to undergo esterification and oxidation reactions, making it versatile in synthetic organic chemistry. Methyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate is also studied for its potential biological activities, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. Safety data indicates that, while it is generally regarded as safe in low concentrations, appropriate handling and usage guidelines should be followed to mitigate any potential risks.

3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester

CAS: 2150-43-8

3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester is a natural compound that has been isolated from Linteus. This compound has been shown to have antiinflammatory activity and to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β). It also inhibits toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), which is a protein that can bind to lipopolysaccharides on the surface of bacteria. 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester has been found to decrease mitochondrial membrane potential in cells treated with hydrogen fluoride. This agent is used in organic synthesis for the preparation of derivatives with high purity. The extract from Etoac can be used as a model organism for the study of its structure and function.
