2-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)ethanol
Catalog No: CFN99076
2-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)ethanol has antioxidant properties; it
is a potent specific inhibitor of lipoxygenase activities, it inhibits platelet 12-LO activity (IC50, 4.2 microM) and PMNL 5-LO activity (IC50, 13 microM) but not cyclooxygenase activity in cell-free conditions; it also inhibits 12-LO activity in intact platelets (IC50, 50 microM) and reduces leukotriene B4 production in intact PMNL stimulated by A23187 (IC50, 26 microM).
