4-Ethylresorcinol

CAS: 2896-60-8

4-Ethylresorcinol is a natural compound that has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. It is synthesized from resorcinol and 4-ethylphenol by a Friedel-Crafts reaction. This compound can exist in two different crystalline polymorphs: monoclinic or orthorhombic. 4-Ethylresorcinol exhibits good solubility in water, alcohols, and organic solvents. The molecular weight of this compound ranges from 310 to 340g/mol. 4-Ethylresorcinol inhibits the transcriptional activity of RNA polymerase II and III, as well as DNA polymerase, by binding to the active sites on these enzymes. It also prevents DNA replication by binding to the enzyme DNA gyrase. 4-Ethylresorcinol is most commonly used in cell culture studies where it inhibits cellular protein synthesis and decreases protein levels within cells
