• Synonyms: 3,5-Bis(benzyloxy)benzyl alcohol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,5-Dibenzyloxybenzyl alcohol is a flavonoid that is used for the treatment of cancer. The compound inhibits the activity of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and has been shown to inhibit the production of prostaglandin E2, which is associated with inflammation. 3,5-Dibenzyloxybenzyl alcohol also inhibits metathesis reactions in an equilibration process that can be catalyzed by palladium or platinum. It has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties due to its inhibition of COX-2 and its ability to induce apoptosis in tumor cells. 3,5-Dibenzyloxybenzyl alcohol also has anti-cancerous properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit cell proliferation through alkylation and spiroketal conjugation reactions. This compound also binds to tannins and fatty acids as well as monomers in a reversible manner
