Isobutyl Paraben (CAS 4247-02-3)
QUICK LINKS
Isobutyl Paraben is an anti-microbial agent and anti-fungal agent. Parabens are effective preservatives in many types of formulas. Isobutyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, also known as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid isobutyl ester, is a synthetic compound extensively utilized in laboratory experiments and research. It presents as a white crystalline solid, soluble in organic solvents, and serves as a preservative in food. Its applications span across organic chemistry, biochemistry, and various scientific research domains. Isobutyl 4-hydroxybenzoate finds widespread use as a preservative in food. It contributes to the synthesis of diverse organic compounds like dyes. Additionally, it aids in the production of polymers such as polyurethanes and biodegradable plastics. This compound acts as a weak acid, exerting its mechanism of action through the inhibition of carbohydrate and lipid-metabolizing enzymes. Moreover, it disrupts the cell membranes of bacteria and fungi, believed to hinder their growth.
