Hexylresorcinol (BioDeep_00000018077)

描述信息

Hexylresorcinol, also known as adrover or antascarin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as resorcinols. Resorcinols are compounds containing a resorcinol moiety, which is a benzene ring bearing two hydroxyl groups at positions 1 and 3. The agent also demonstrates mild antiseptic activity as well as an apparent anti-inflammatory, demulcent action . Moreover, such studies have also shown that hexylresorcinol is seemingly capable of dose-dependent induction of SCC-9 cell apoptosis as well as the inhibition of transglutaminase-2 enzyme activity which can facilitate chemotherapy resistance . Hexylresorcinol is a potentially toxic compound. Hexylresorcinol belongs to the family of Resorcinols. Regarding the metabolism of hexylresorcinol, it has been reported that excretion of the compound in the urine is largely in the form of an ethereal sulfate conjugate. Ultimately, it is also reported that glutathione depletion increases tyrosinase activity in human melanoma cells, which makes hexylresorcinols effects on tyrosinase desirable . Nevertheless, it is useful for hexylresorcinol to have both anesthetic and certain antiseptic actions for its use in treating various relatively self-limiting scrapes and sore throats that are treated by the over-the-counter products that feature the compound. It is proposed that hexylresorcinol can bind to tyrosinase directly and inhibits its enzyme activity . It can be found in topical applications for minor skin infections and in oral solutions or throat lozenges for pain relief and first aid antiseptic.
