Product Information

• Name: 4-Allylpyrocatechol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Allylpyrocatechol is a cell-specific antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It has minimal toxicity and can be used in vivo for the treatment of oral pathogens, including Candida albicans, Streptococcus mutans, and Enterococcus faecalis. 4-Allylpyrocatechol binds to intracellular molecules that are involved in cell proliferation and prevents the formation of reactive oxygen species. This agent also inhibits mitochondrial membrane potential and reduces the expression of genes that encode for proteins involved in signal transduction pathways. The inhibition of these genes leads to cell death. 4-Allylpyrocatechol can be used as an analytical method to measure the susceptibility of cells to eugenol by measuring their response to mitomycin C or propidium iodide. This agent may also be able to prevent chronic oral infections through its effects on oral pathogens.
