| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
methyl 2,4-dihydroxy-6-pentylbenzoate is an organosynthetic intermediate compound used as a biological precursor for the synthesis of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It has antibacterial properties against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium perfringens. | [Uses]
Methyl Olivetolate is an intermediate in synthesizing Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (Acid A & B) (T293235). It is one of the substances screened for in meconium drug testings for medicinal opiods among addicted mothers. Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid has been shown to protect dopaminergic neurons against 1-methyl-4-Ph pyridinium (MPP+) induced cell death. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
