Methyl orsellinate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Methyl orsellinate acts as an antiviral agent and insecticide. Methyl orsellinate exhibits enzyme inhibitory activity, with an IC50 of 59.6 µM against porcine leukocyte 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX); it inhibits soybean 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX), and shows weak inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and glutathione S-transferase (GST). Methyl orsellinate displays contact toxicity against adult Drosophila suzukii. Methyl orsellinate shows anti-HSV-1 activity. Methyl orsellinate can be used in studies related to *Drosophila suzukii* infestation and HSV-1 infection.

Methyl orsellinate (0.1-1 mg/mL; 40 min) weakly inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity in Drosophila suzukii adult males and females, with IC50 values of 2.07 mg/mL and 1.69 mg/mL, respectively[1].
Methyl orsellinate (0.1-1 mg/mL; 30 min) potently inhibits glutathione S-transferase activity in Drosophila suzukii adult males and females, with IC50 values of 0.18 mg/mL and 0.80 mg/mL, respectively[1].
Methyl orsellinate (75 μg/mL; 72 h) exhibits cytotoxicity against Vero cells with a CC50 of 75 μg/mL[2].
Methyl orsellinate (12.5-50 μg/mL; 24+ h) inhibits HSV-1-induced cytopathic effects in Vero cells with an EC50 of 13.50 μg/mL and a selectivity index of 5.55[2].
