2-Methoxy-6-methylphenol (CAS 2896-67-5)
QUICK LINKS
2-Methoxy-6-methylphenol functions as a potent antioxidant in experiment. Its mechanism of action involves scavenging free radicals and preventing oxidative damage to cells and biomolecules. 2-Methoxy-6-methylphenol achieves this by donating hydrogen atoms to free radicals, thereby neutralizing their reactivity and preventing them from causing cellular damage. 2-Methoxy-6-methylphenol inhibits lipid peroxidation, which is a key process in oxidative stress-induced cell damage. At the molecular level, 2-Methoxy-6-methylphenol interacts with reactive oxygen species and other free radicals, effectively quenching their reactivity and protecting cellular components from oxidative damage. Its ability to act as an antioxidant makes it useful in studying oxidative stress and its impact on cellular function in experimental models.
