Description

Ethyl 4-methoxyphenylacetate is a fatty acid that is synthesized by the condensation of aniline and pyrrole. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria, such as Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus aureus, in vitro. The inhibition of bacterial growth is thought to be due to its ability to react with hydrogen fluoride, which results in the formation of reactive oxygen species and nitrogen radicals. This compound also inhibits the production of tyrosinase in human skin cells, which may be beneficial for individuals with acne. Ethyl 4-methoxyphenylacetate has been shown to be safe for use in clinical trials.
