Product Information

• Name: 3-Methylbenzaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Methylbenzaldehyde is a diphenolase that is found in a Chinese medicinal plant, Acalypha wilkesiana. 3-Methylbenzaldehyde has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and can be used as a complementary therapy for inflammatory diseases. The chemical ionization technique was used to measure the production rate of 3-methylbenzaldehyde from the acetate extract of A. wilkesiana. The linear regression analysis showed that there was an increase in the production rate with increased concentration of hydrogen bonding interactions with 3-methylbenzaldehyde. Hydrogen bonding interactions are due to the presence of hydroxyl groups on the benzene ring and methyl group on the side chain. This chemical reaction forms glyoxal, which is then metabolized through p450 isozymes in order to produce 3-methylbenzaldehyde or other metabolites.
