Application: | Methylhydroquinone can be used as a reactant to prepare: • A semiflexible thermotropic polyester via polycondensation reaction with 4,4′-sebacoyldioxydibenzo • A sesquiterpene (±)-helibisabonol A. • poly{hexakis[(methyl)(4-hydroxyphenoxy)]cyclotriphosphazene} by reacting with hexachlorocyclotriphospha • 6-Hydroxy-4,7-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one by treating with ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of H2SO4 as a catalyst. |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Methylhydroquinone (Toluquinol) inhibits the growth of endothelial and tumor cells in culture in the micromolar range and is a promising drug candidate in the treatment of cancer and other angiogenesis-related pathologies. |
General description: | Methylhydroquinone is produced by the oxidation of o-cresol by the mutants G103S, G103S/A107G, and G103S/A107T. |
