Product Data Sheet
Methylhydroquinone
Catalog No. B21387
Methylhydroquinone is a potent COX inhibitor with noted activity against ovine COX-1 and human recombinant COX-2, exhibiting IC50 values of 480.7 μM and 52.2 μM, respectively. This compound demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties primarily through the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Additionally, it has been associated with potential DNA-damaging effects, including the induction of DNA single-strand breaks. Methylhydroquinone functions by competitively binding to the active sites of COX-1, engaging in non-covalent interactions to exert its biological activities.
