Product Information

• Name: Methyl 5-nitrosalicylate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl 5-nitrosalicylate is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of 4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives. It is an inhibitor of the reaction between salicylic acid and nitrous acid, inhibiting the formation of 5-nitrosalicylic acid. Methyl 5-nitrosalicylate has shown inhibitory activity against various nitro compounds, including benzofurans. The inhibitory effect on oxidation reactions may be due to its ability to act as a ligand and form coordination complexes with metal ions such as copper, zinc, and iron. Methyl 5-nitrosalicylate also has anti-inflammatory properties that are due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis by blocking cyclooxygenase enzyme activity.Methyl 5-nitrosalicylate can be synthesized in a few ways. One method includes reacting methyl salicylate with nitrous acid in the presence of light
