p-Cymene

Description:

p-Cymene, also known as para-cymene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C10H14. It is a colorless liquid with a pleasant, citrus-like odor, commonly found in essential oils, particularly in thyme and cumin. p-Cymene is characterized by its low solubility in water but high solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications. It has a boiling point of approximately 176 °C and a melting point around -48 °C. This compound is known for its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, which contribute to its use in food preservation and cosmetics. Additionally, p-cymene is utilized as a solvent in chemical reactions and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its structure features a methyl group and an isopropyl group attached to a benzene ring, contributing to its reactivity and versatility in organic chemistry. Safety data indicates that while p-cymene is generally regarded as safe in low concentrations, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant effects.

p-Cymene

CAS: 99-87-6

p-Cymene is a natural product that has been shown to be active against a number of human pathogens, including bacteria and fungi. It is a metabolite of cymene, which is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon found in the essential oils of many plants. p-Cymene inhibits bacterial growth by interfering with signal pathways that are important for bacterial cell division. This inhibition leads to an increase in the mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial functions, which are vital for energy metabolism. The antimicrobial properties of p-cymene have been shown through its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria at low concentrations and kill them at high concentrations. It also demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis.
