The main application of 4,4′-dihydroxybenzophenone is as a UV light stabilizer. It and its derivatives are found in cosmetics, plastics, films, adhesives and coatings, optical fiber, and printed circuit boards. It is the precursor to certain polycarbonate polymers. [2]
Benzophenone is a naturally occurring organic compound with the formula (C 6 H 5) 2 CO, generally abbreviated Ph 2 CO. Benzophenone has been found in some fungi, fruits and plants, including grapes. [4] It is a white solid with a low melting point and rose-like odor [5] that is soluble in organic solvents. Benzophenone is the simplest ...
In pharmacology, biological activity or pharmacological activity describes the beneficial or adverse effects of a drug on living matter. [1] [2] When a drug is a complex chemical mixture, this activity is exerted by the substance's active ingredient or pharmacophore but can be modified by the other constituents. Among the various properties of ...
2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (β-resorcylic acid) is a dihydroxybenzoic acid. As a resorcylic acid, it is one of the three isomeric crystalline acids that are both carboxyl derivatives of resorcinol and dihydroxy derivatives of benzoic acid. [4] Synthesis from resorcinol is via the Kolbe-Schmitt reaction. [5]
Oxybenzone or benzophenone-3 or BP-3 (trade names Milestab 9, Eusolex 4360, Escalol 567, KAHSCREEN BZ-3) is an organic compound belonging to the class of aromatic ketones known as benzophenones.
A bioactive compound is a compound that has an effect on a living organism, tissue or cell, usually demonstrated by basic research in vitro or in vivo in the laboratory. While dietary nutrients are essential to life, bioactive compounds have not been proved to be essential – as the body can function without them – or because their actions are obscured by nutrients fulfilling the function.
BPA binding to ERR-γ preserves its basal constitutive activity. [92] It can also protect it from deactivation from the SERM 4-hydroxytamoxifen (afimoxifene). [92] This may be the mechanism by which BPA acts as a xenoestrogen. [92] Different expression of ERR-γ in different parts of the body may account for variations in bisphenol A effects.
4,4’-Difluorobenzophenone is an organic compound with the formula of (FC 6 H 4) 2 CO. This colorless solid is commonly used as a precursor to PEEK, or polyetherether ketone, a so-called high performance polymer. Because PEEK is resistant to attack, it is commonly used in carbon fiber coatings and cable insulation.
