CAS 2217-60-9: Thymohydroquinone

Description: Thymohydroquinone, with the CAS number 2217-60-9, is a naturally occurring compound derived from thyme oil, specifically from the plant Thymus vulgaris. It is a type of phenolic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes two hydroxyl groups attached to a benzene ring. Thymohydroquinone exhibits antioxidant properties, making it of interest in various applications, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, where it may help protect against oxidative stress. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. The compound is typically found in a liquid form and is soluble in organic solvents, while its stability can be influenced by environmental factors such as light and temperature. Due to its biological activities, thymohydroquinone is being explored for its therapeutic potential, although further research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and applications. As with many phenolic compounds, it is important to handle thymohydroquinone with care, as it may pose health risks in concentrated forms.
