Product Description: 4-Ethylresorcinol, a derivative of resorcinol, can act as substrates of tyrosinase. 4-Ethylresorcinol possess hypopigmentary effects. 4-Ethylresorcinol attenuates mRNA and protein expression of tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)-2, and possessed antioxidative effect by inhibiting lipid peroxidation[1][2].
Applications: Metabolism-sugar/lipid metabolism
Formula: C8H10O2
