Methylhydroquinone

Description:

Methylhydroquinone, also known as 2-methylhydroquinone, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C7H8O2. It is a derivative of hydroquinone, featuring a methyl group attached to one of the carbon atoms in the benzene ring. This compound appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. Methylhydroquinone is primarily used as an antioxidant in various industrial applications, including the stabilization of plastics and as a reagent in organic synthesis. It exhibits properties similar to those of hydroquinone, including the ability to act as a reducing agent. However, it is important to handle this substance with care, as it can be a skin and eye irritant. Additionally, safety data sheets should be consulted for proper handling and disposal procedures, as well as potential health effects associated with exposure.

2-Methylhydroquinone

CAS: 95-71-6

2-Methylhydroquinone is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can bind to DNA, forming covalent adducts. It has been shown to have an optimum concentration of 10 μM, and the hydroxyl group on its phenolic ring enables it to form hydrogen bonding interactions with nucleic acids. 2-Methylhydroquinone has been shown to inhibit angiogenic process in vitro and in vivo, as well as inhibiting the growth of tumor cells by binding to DNA. This compound also inhibits the transfer of methyl groups from methyl donors such as S-adenosylhomocysteine and methionine to acceptor molecules such as p-hydroxybenzoic acid.
