Description

2,4-Dihydroxy-6-propylbenzoic acid is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of the cannabinoids cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabigerovarinic acid (CBGV). It is a substrate for cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), which converts it to 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid. CBG and CBGV inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to cannabinoid receptors on the cell surface. These cannabinoids also have been shown to have antiinflammatory properties. 2,4-Dihydroxy-6-propylbenzoic acid has been shown in clinical studies to be effective against infectious diseases such as malaria, leishmaniasis, and tuberculosis.
