• Description: 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylacetone is a natural compound that is found in lignin and has been studied as a potential treatment for congestive heart failure. The compound has been shown to inhibit the activity of enzymes involved in the transfer reactions of bacterial cells. It also reduces the production of acetate, which is used by bacteria for growth. 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylacetone has been found to be nontoxic to mice at doses up to 10 g/kg. This study also showed that 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylacetone had no effect on enzyme activities in rat liver mitochondria or rat brain synaptosomes.
