Description:Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate is an organic compound that has been used as a preservative in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food. It is a member of the group of compounds known as parabens. Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate can be prepared by the reaction of p-hydroxybenzoic acid with methyl alcohol. The chemical formula for this substance is CH3CO2C6H4CH3. Methyl 4-hydoxybenzoate (MB) also shows genotoxic activity, which may be due to its ability to form intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions with DNA or mRNA molecules. The genotoxicity of MB has been tested in vitro using bacterial strains and mammalian cells. MB also exhibits leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) properties and may be useful for cancer therapy, although it needs more research to confirm this effect.
