Guaiacol (Synonyms: O-methylcatechol, o-methoxyphenol, 2-Methoxyphenol, 2-hydroxyanisole)
Catalog No. T1301 Copy Product Info
Purity: 99.95%
Guaiacol (2-Methoxyphenol) is a precursor to various flavorants, such as eugenol and vanillin. Its derivatives are used medicinally as an expectorant, antiseptic, and local anesthetic. It also can be used as an indicator in chemical reactions that produce oxygen. When oxygen binds to it, the complex turns yellowish brown and absorbs light maximally at about 470 nm.

Product Introduction
Guaiacol AI Summary
Guaiacol exhibits a wide range of bioactivities across different biological systems. It has varying partition coefficients (logP), with higher values in solvents such as chloroform and benzene, suggesting its substantial lipophilicity, which could influence its bioavailability and distribution. The compound has a partition coefficient (logP) of 1.33 in the alkane/water system. It also exhibits inhibitory activity on the germination of Bacillus subtilis spores with an IC50 value of 6,310,000 nM and inhibitory effects on mouse recombinant iNOS and human recombinant 5-lipoxygenase. Guaiacol demonstrates activity against caspase-mediated apoptosis in mouse L1210 cells, anti-inflammatory effects in CD1 mice by inhibiting croton oil-induced ear edema, and inhibitory activity against human erythrocyte CA1 and CA2 esterase activities. It affects various enzymes and pathways, including histone lysine methyltransferase G9a, Nrf2-dependent DNA repair, and the androgen receptor signaling pathway. Additionally, it shows antibacterial and antifungal properties, with activity against Candida species, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis, as well as moderate antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, Guaiacol inhibits multiple enzyme activities and affects cell viability and proliferation in various human cell lines, showing potential cytotoxicity towards cancer cells with p53 mutations, and inhibits malaria parasite plastid death. Its antioxidant properties are evidenced by its capacity to scavenge DPPH free radicals. The compound also shows a deterrent effect against the cabbage looper Trichoplusia ni and has significant inhibitory effects on ligninolytic enzymes and mycelium growth in fungal species such as Lasiodiplodia theobromae and Botryosphaeria dothidea..
