Product Information

• Name: 2-Fluoro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: The 2-fluoro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (2F4HB) is a naturally occurring substance that has been synthesized by the process of carbon source. It is a member of the class of compounds known as flavonoids, which are found in plants and have many functions such as being an antioxidant, having anti-inflammatory properties, and being a precursor to vitamin K. The 2F4HB has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against various bacterial species including C. parapsilosis and B. cereus, with inhibitory effects on cell growth. This compound also has been shown to have birefringence properties under polarized light microscopy. It may be used as a fluorescent dye to study the structure of polymers or other organic substances that can be dissolved in water or organic solvents. The 2F4HB also shows potential as an electron spin resonance agent for magnetic resonance spectroscopy because it can act as a free radical scavenger
