Alcools benzyliques

4-(4'-Iodophenyl)phenol is an analog of the natural substrate thymidine. It is a liquid crystalline compound that has been shown to inhibit the activity of virus thymidine kinase in vitro and in vivo. 4-(4'-Iodophenyl)phenol was also shown to have affinity for the active site of viral thymidine kinase, which may account for its effect on viral replication.

2,3-Difluoro-6-nitrophenol is a fluorinated phenolic compound that is used in biochemical research as a competitive inhibitor of bacterial growth. It is synthesized by the reaction of 2,3-difluorophenol with nitric acid. The chemical structure can be determined through infrared, NMR, and mass spectrometry techniques. 2,3-Difluoro-6-nitrophenol has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth by binding to the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase. This inhibition prevents electron transport from occurring, resulting in an accumulation of reactive oxygen species and cell death.

<p>5-Fluoro-2-nitrophenol is a synthetic compound that has been shown to inhibit the production of nitric oxide in cells. It is most active in inhibiting the release of nitric oxide from cells, but also inhibits its synthesis. 5-Fluoro-2-nitrophenol has been shown to inhibit the production of thromboxane A2, prostacyclin, and endothelin 1. This drug also binds to bacteria and prevents their growth by inhibiting protein synthesis. The binding of 5-fluoro-2-nitrophenol to bacterial DNA leads to inhibition of transcription and translation, preventing protein synthesis.<br>5-Fluoro-2-nitrophenol has been shown to be effective against Trichophyton mentagrophytes (a fungus) and may be useful for the treatment of onychomycosis (fungal infection).</p>

<p>2-Methoxybenzyl alcohol is a reactive compound that contains two methoxy (CH3O-) groups. It can be used for the synthesis of chiral molecules because it forms an asymmetric hydrogen bond. The reaction of 2-methoxybenzyl alcohol with oxygenated substances, such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, leads to oxidation products, including hydroxybenzaldehyde, which can be isolated and converted to benzalacetone. This product has been shown to have photocatalytic activity in the presence of ultraviolet light.</p>
