Usage

Description

Ethane-1,2-diyl bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate), also known as ethyl bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate), is a chemical compound derived from two molecules of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid and one molecule of ethane-1,2-diol. It is commonly used as an ultraviolet (UV) absorber and antioxidant in personal care products, such as sunscreen, moisturizers, and hair care products.

Uses

Used in Personal Care Industry:
Ethane-1,2-diyl bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate) is used as an ultraviolet (UV) absorber and antioxidant for protecting the skin from harmful UV radiation. It helps to absorb and dissipate UV rays, reducing the risk of skin damage and premature aging caused by sun exposure.
Used in Sunscreen Products:
Ethane-1,2-diyl bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate) is used as an active ingredient in sunscreen formulations to provide broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Its ability to absorb and scatter UV radiation helps to prevent sunburn, skin reddening, and long-term skin damage.
Used in Moisturizers and Hair Care Products:
Ethane-1,2-diyl bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate) is used as a moisturizing agent in personal care products, such as moisturizers and hair care products. Its hydrating properties help to keep the skin and hair hydrated, preventing dryness and promoting a healthy appearance.
Used in Antioxidant Formulations:
Ethane-1,2-diyl bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate) is used as an antioxidant in personal care products to protect against oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Its antioxidant properties help to neutralize harmful free radicals, reducing the risk of skin damage and promoting overall skin health.

Simple di- and trivanillates exhibit cytostatic properties toward cancer cells resistant to pro-apoptotic stimuli

A series of 33 novel divanillates and trivanillates were synthesized and found to possess promising cytostatic rather than cytotoxic properties. Several compounds under study decreased by >50% the activity of Aurora A, B, and C, and WEE1 kinase activity at concentrations 50 growth inhibitory ones, accounting, at least partly, for their cytostatic effects in cancer cells and to a lesser extent in normal cells. Compounds 6b and 13c represent interesting starting points for the development of cytostatic agents to combat cancers, which are naturally resistant to pro-apoptotic stimuli, including metastatic malignancies.
