Mequinol

4-Methoxybenzyl S-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)thiocarbonate

Hydroquinone monomethyl ether appears as pink crystals or white waxy solid. (NTP, 1992) P-methoxyphenol is a member of phenols and a member of methoxybenzenes. It has a role as a metabolite. Mequinol is a phenol used in various applications. It is used as an inhibitor for acrylic monomers and acrylonitirles, as a stabilizer for chlorinated hydrocarbons and ethyl cellulose, as an ultraviolet inhibitor, as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of antioxidants, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, and dyestuffs. It is found as an active ingredient in topical drugs used for skin depigmentation indicated for the treatment of solar lentigines. Mequinol is a Skin Lightening Agent. The mechanism of action of mequinol is as a Melanin Synthesis Inhibitor. The physiologic effect of mequinol is by means of Depigmenting Activity. 4-Methoxyphenol is a natural product found in Origanum majorana, Ascia monuste, and other organisms with data available. Mequinol is a synthetic derivate of hydroquinone and depigmenting agent. Although the exact mechanism of the depigmenting effects of mequinol remains unclear, it may exert its effect by oxidation of tyrosinase to cytotoxic products in melanocytes. Mequinol may also act by competitively inhibiting the formation of melanin precursors. See also: Anoxomer (monomer of). Mequinol is a drug used in combination with the drug tretinoin in the treatment of liver spots. Mequinol used alone and in higher doses is used as a topical drug for medical depigmentation. Mequinol is found in sweet marjoram and anise. Mequinol is found in anise. Mequinol is a drug used in combination with the drug tretinoin in the treatment of liver spots. Mequinol used alone and in higher doses is used as a topical drug for medical depigmentation.
