Product Information
- 3,3’,5,5’-Tetraisopropyl biphenyl-4,4’-diol
4,4-Bis(2,6-diisopropylphenol) is a natural compound that has been used as an antimicrobial agent for many years. It has been shown to be effective against bacteria and fungi. 4,4-Bis(2,6-diisopropylphenol) is also used in the synthesis of eugenol, which is a natural compound with antioxidant activity. This compound inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the hydroxyl group on the ribosome and preventing chain reactions from occurring. This inhibition can lead to degenerative diseases like fatty acid oxidation and hydroxyanisole degradation. The presence of a hydroxyl group allows this compound to react with anion radicals in the body and scavenge them.
