General description

2,6-Dimethoxyphenol has been identified as one of the volatile flavor constituents in shoyu (soy sauce), wine and wood smoke.

Application


  • 3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethoxybiphenyl-4,4′diol triggers oxidative stress, metabolic changes, and apoptosis-like process by reducing the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB pathway in the NCI-H460 lung cancer cell line.: Investigates a derivative of 2,6-Dimethoxyphenol for its anti-cancer properties, offering a new avenue for therapeutic research against lung cancer (Concato-Lopes et al., 2024).
