Description

3-Methoxy-5-methylphenol is a natural product that has been extracted from the bark of usnea species. It is a component of the essential oil of usnea, which has been used in traditional Chinese medicine as an anti-inflammatory, anti-infective and anti-tumor agent. 3-Methoxy-5-methylphenol can be used to synthesize new molecules with similar biological activity to usnic acid. This compound also inhibits fatty acid synthesis by blocking the enzyme acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase).
