Human Endogenous Metabolite |
Hexylresorcinol potently inhibits Gram positive bacteria, with MICs of 20-50 mg/L for several Gram positive bacteria. Gram negative bacteria, yeasts and fungi are less sensitive to it[1].
Hexylresorcinol inhibits oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes by increasing levels of glutathione and modulation of antioxidant enzymes (GPX, GR and GST)[2].
Hexylresorcinol (1-10 μg/mL; 24-72 hours) suppresses squamous carcinoma cell line SCC-9 proliferation[3].
Hexylresorcinol has strong antitumor effects by inhibiting calcium channel oscillation and inducing apoptosis[3].
Hexylresorcinol upregulates TGF-β/SMAD/VEGF signaling in endothelial cells and induces vascular regeneration and remodeling for wound healing[5].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
