4-Hydroxyisophthalic acid
Antioxidant Agent
4-Hydroxyisophthalic acid functions primarily as an antioxidant agent, activating crucial antioxidant enzymes such as catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Its ability to scavenge free radicals contributes to its protective effects on neuronal function, as it enhances the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). In research applications, 4-Hydroxyisophthalic acid has demonstrated potential in improving cognitive defects and alleviating circadian rhythm disorders in model organisms, such as fruit flies.
