Product Information

• Name: 2-Hydroxyphenyl acetate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Hydroxyphenyl acetate (2HPA) is a phenolic compound that has been shown to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells in vitro. 2HPA inhibits the activity of two enzymes, hydroxylase and transketolase, which are involved in energy metabolism and collagen synthesis. 2HPA also induces apoptosis in prostate cancer cells by activating caspases and inhibiting DNA synthesis. Studies have shown that 2HPA may be effective against fungal infections by inhibiting cell growth. This compound also has anti-inflammatory properties and may be beneficial for those with osteoporosis by stimulating the production of new bone cells. 2HPA has been shown to stimulate the release of neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine, glutamate, GABA, dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin from mouse hippocampal neurons. It also inhibits the phosphorylation of cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) to block CREB-mediated
