Description

3,5-Dimethoxybenzyl alcohol is a synthetic compound that exhibits potent inhibitory activity against carcinoma cell lines. It prevents the growth of cancer cells by inhibiting the synthesis of RNA and DNA. The activation energy for this inhibitory activity is 40.6 kJ/mol, which was determined using analytical methods. 3,5-Dimethoxybenzyl alcohol inhibits the growth of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo at concentrations between 50 and 500 µM. Its inhibitory activities are reversible and competitive with respect to chloride ions at concentrations greater than 250 µM. 3,5-Dimethoxybenzyl alcohol has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of phosphatase enzymes in Chinese medicinal herbs such as Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., Phellodendron amurense Rupr., or Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai.
