• Synonyms: Acetylsalicylic Acid Impurity B
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Hydroxyisophthalic acid is a compound that has been shown to have antioxidant properties, and is capable of scavenging free radicals. It is an inhibitor of the p-hydroxybenzoic acid, which inhibits protein glycosylation and leads to neuronal dysfunction. This molecule also has anti-inflammatory effects through its inhibition of the enzyme activity in neutrophils, which prevents the release of inflammatory mediators. 4-Hydroxyisophthalic acid also protects against oxidative damage and neuronal death caused by exposure to metal hydroxides or hydroxyl radicals. 4-Hydroxyisophthalic acid has shown neuroprotective effects in animal models of cerebral ischemia and Parkinson's disease.
