• Synonyms: (4-Methoxyphenyl)acetic acid methyl ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl 4-methoxyphenyl acetate is a natural product that is structurally similar to malonic acid. It has been shown to have an affinity for the estrogen receptor and can be used as a potential estrogen receptor modulator. Methyl 4-methoxyphenyl acetate has been found to be an active analogue of norbadione, which is a natural product that has been studied as a potential insecticide. The structural isomers of methyl 4-methoxyphenyl acetate are stable complexes with chloride ions, which may contribute to its ability to bind to the estrogen receptor.
