:4-ethyl-2-hydroxybenzoic acid
Description:
4-Ethyl-2-hydroxybenzoic acid, also known as ethyl salicylate, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) on a benzene ring. This compound features an ethyl group attached to the para position relative to the hydroxyl group. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid with moderate solubility in water and higher solubility in organic solvents. The compound exhibits properties typical of phenolic acids, including mild acidity due to the carboxylic acid group and the ability to form hydrogen bonds due to the hydroxyl group. It is often used in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and as a reagent in organic chemistry. Additionally, 4-ethyl-2-hydroxybenzoic acid may possess antioxidant properties and has applications in the cosmetic and food industries as a preservative or flavoring agent. Safety data indicates that, like many organic acids, it should be handled with care to avoid irritation.

4-Ethyl-2-hydroxybenzoic acid
CAS:<p>4-Ethyl-2-hydroxybenzoic acid is a molecule that has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells by binding to tubulin and preventing polymerization. 4-Ethyl-2-hydroxybenzoic acid also inhibits the formation of colchicine binding sites on tubulin, which prevents colchicine from binding and inhibiting microtubule assembly. This compound has potent antiproliferative activity against a variety of cell lines and may be useful in elucidating the mechanism of action of colchicine.</p>Formula:C9H10O3Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:166.17 g/mol
