4-Methylcatechol

CAS No. 452-86-8

4-Methylcatechol ( p-Methylcatechol;34-Dihydroxytoluene;Homocatechol;4-methylbenzene-12-diol )

Catalog No. M19606 CAS No. 452-86-8

4-methylcatechol is a metabolite of homoprotocatechuic acid. It is both a substrate and a suicide inhibitor of Catechol 23-dioxygenase. 4-methylcatechol is known to induce the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Recent studies have suggested that a lack of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the limbic system may cause neuropathic pain.
