Orcinol, a naturally occurring phenol, can be found in a range of sources including lichens, fungi, and plants. This compound holds significant value in scientific research, particularly in the synthesis of various compounds. In vitro applications involve utilizing orcinol in the synthesis of a multitude of compounds, including dyes, and fragrances. One notable aspect of orcinol is its capacity to inhibit several enzymes, such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), lipoxygenase (LOX), and cytochrome P450 (CYP).
