Description

3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester is a natural compound that has been isolated from Linteus. This compound has been shown to have antiinflammatory activity and to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β). It also inhibits toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), which is a protein that can bind to lipopolysaccharides on the surface of bacteria. 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester has been found to decrease mitochondrial membrane potential in cells treated with hydrogen fluoride. This agent is used in organic synthesis for the preparation of derivatives with high purity. The extract from Etoac can be used as a model organism for the study of its structure and function.
