Description

2-(2-Methoxyphenethyl) alcohol (2MPE) is a ligand that binds to the phenylpropanoid glycosides, which are responsible for the biosynthesis of plant pigments. It has been shown to inhibit tyrosinase and tyrosinase activity in vitro. 2MPE is used in radiopharmaceuticals as a radioactive label. It has also been shown to inhibit melanogenesis and the synthesis of volatile compounds in corncob at high temperatures. 2MPE is found in rhodiola and together with 2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, it inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting protein synthesis.
