| | Methyl 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | methyl gentisate is also known as methyl dihydroxybenzoate. It is a skin-lightening ingredient that acts by inhibiting the melanocyte’s production of tyrosinase. It can be naturally obtained from gentian root. | | Uses | Methyl 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate (methyl gentisate) may be used as a starting material in the synthesis of euonyminol. | | Definition | ChEBI: Methyl 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate is a member of phenols and a benzoate ester. | | General Description | Methyl 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate (methyl gentisate) is an alkyl ester of gentisic acid. It is reported to show less cytotoxic and mutagenic activity than hydroquinone with a potential to inhibit melanogenesis. It has been synthesized from 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid. The crystal structure of the molecule was found to be planar. |
