Description

5-Methoxyresorcinol is a plant product that has been shown to inhibit protein synthesis. It was found to have a second-order rate constant of 0.079 M-1s-1 at pH 7, which is much lower than the first order rate constant for urea hydrolysis (0.71 M-1s-1). 5-Methoxyresorcinol has also been shown to demethylate methyl glycosides and synthesize cell cultures. This product inhibits the replication of herpes simplex virus by inhibiting the synthesis of viral proteins in infected cells and blocking the maturation of progeny virus particles.
