Ethyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate
Catalog No. A30243

Ethyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate is a competitive inhibitor of prolyl hydroxylase, effectively penetrating the blood-brain barrier. By inhibiting the hydroxylation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), it stabilizes HIF-1α, thereby activating downstream pathways that promote autophagy and apoptosis in tumor cells. Additionally, it modulates inflammatory responses, inhibits the NF-κB pathway, enhances vascular permeability, and supports osteoblast differentiation. Ethyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate is beneficial for research applications focused on cancer therapeutics, cardiovascular protection, bone metabolism regulation, and high-altitude cerebral edema management.
