Methyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate Usage And Synthesis
| Chemical Properties | Off-White Solid |
| Uses | The methyl ester of 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid (D451680) with antioxidant properties. |
| Definition | ChEBI: A methyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid with methanol. |
| in vivo | Methyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate (Protocatechuic acid methyl ester; Methyl protocatechuate) (25 or 50 mg/kg bw/day) prevents the cellular F- accumulation and oxidative stress. Methyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate prevents the inflammatory and associated fibrosis progression by restoring the expression of RAGE and Nrf2[2]. |
