Description

3-Hydroxy-2-methoxybenzaldehyde is a synthetic compound that is used as an antiviral agent. It has been shown to inhibit the replication of Coxsackievirus A9 (CV-A9). In addition, 3-Hydroxy-2-methoxybenzaldehyde reacts with isoeugenol and isonicotinic acid under acidic conditions to form 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol, which has antiviral activity against CV-A9. This reaction requires a catalyst, such as zinc chloride or nickel sulfate. The rate of this reaction can be increased by increasing the reaction time. 3-Hydroxy-2-methoxybenzaldehyde also inhibits the virus's ability to bind to cells and enter them, reducing its infectivity.
