Methyl 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate

Description:

Methyl 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate, also known as methyl salicylate, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure featuring a methoxy group and two hydroxyl groups on a benzene ring. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, minty odor, often associated with wintergreen. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Methyl 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate exhibits properties typical of phenolic compounds, including potential antioxidant activity and the ability to form hydrogen bonds due to its hydroxyl groups. It is commonly used in the fragrance industry, as a flavoring agent, and in topical analgesic formulations due to its mild analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it can serve as a precursor in organic synthesis and is of interest in various biochemical applications. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it can cause skin irritation and should be kept away from open flames due to its flammable nature.

Methyl 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of organic compounds. It is a metabolite of hydroxybenzoic acid and has been shown to be an inhibitor of epidermal growth factor (EGF). The methyl group in the molecule inhibits the EGF receptor from binding to its ligand, which blocks the activity of EGF. Methyl 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate also has anti-leukemic properties and has been shown to inhibit the growth of leukemic cells in mice. This may be due to its ability to bind with factor receptors on cells and prevent their activation. The enzyme hydrolysis of methyl 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate occurs through trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid.
