• Description: 2-Isopropylphenol is a chemical compound that contains a hydroxy group and a benzene ring. It has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the growth of plants by interfering with the synthesis of plant hormones like gibberellic acid, indoleacetic acid, and ethylene. 2-Isopropylphenol also inhibits the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in mammalian nervous tissue. The specific agonists for 2-isopropylphenol are esters, which are formed through the reaction of hydroxy groups with acids or alcohols. 2-Isopropylphenol can be used as an industrial chemical and is found in products such as adhesives, paints, and plastics.
