2'-Hydroxyacetophenone (CAS#: 118-93-4) is an acetophenone derivative and phenolic compound with the molecular formula C8H8O2 and a molecular weight of 136.15. It is a clear yellow to light brown oily liquid at room temperature. This compound is used as a flavoring ingredient and synthetic building block in organic synthesis. It has been employed in the synthesis of hydroxychalcone derivatives with inhibitory activity towards COX-2. It is also used in the synthesis of potential anti-mycobacterial and anticancer agents.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
2'-Hydroxyacetophenone does not have a specific biological target as a therapeutic agent. As a synthetic building block and flavoring agent, it is not typically evaluated for receptor binding activity. However, its derivatives (hydroxychalcones) have been shown to inhibit COX-2, suggesting that the compound itself or its derivatives may interact with enzymes involved in inflammatory pathways. The compound is also studied for its potential anti-mycobacterial and anticancer properties.
ln Vitro
2'-Hydroxyacetophenone is a phenolic compound used as a precursor in the synthesis of various biologically active molecules. It has been used in the synthesis of hydroxychalcone derivatives that exhibit inhibitory activity towards COX-2, an enzyme involved in inflammation and pain. The compound itself is a typical flavor additive for cherry kernel, cinnamon, rum, tobacco, coumarin, and tropical fruits. As a building block, it participates in various organic transformations including condensation, alkylation, and oxidation reactions.
ln Vivo
No specific in vivo activity data are documented for 2'-Hydroxyacetophenone. As a chemical intermediate and flavoring agent, it is not typically evaluated for pharmacological effects in animal models. Its derivatives, however, may show in vivo activity in models of inflammation, infection, or cancer. The compound is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) as a flavoring ingredient when used in accordance with good manufacturing practices.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays are not typically performed for 2'-Hydroxyacetophenone itself. For the evaluation of its synthetic derivatives, COX-2 inhibition assays are commonly used. The assay involves incubating the test compound with COX-2 enzyme (purified from insect cells or recombinant sources) in the presence of arachidonic acid substrate and a chromogenic co-substrate (e.g., N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine, TMPD). The oxidation of TMPD is monitored spectrophotometrically at 590 nm. Inhibition of COX-2 activity is calculated relative to control. The compound 2'-hydroxyacetophenone is used as a starting material in these studies.
Cell Assay
No specific cell-based assay protocols are documented for 2'-Hydroxyacetophenone. For evaluating the biological activity of its derivatives, cell-based assays can include cytotoxicity screening against cancer cell lines (e.g., MTT or CCK-8 assays) or anti-inflammatory assays measuring inhibition of LPS-induced NO production in macrophages. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of the test compound for 24-72 hours. Cell viability or inflammatory marker levels are measured. The compound itself is not typically used in cell-based assays as it is a precursor rather than a finished drug candidate.
Animal Protocol
Animal studies are not typically conducted with 2'-Hydroxyacetophenone as it is a chemical intermediate and flavoring agent rather than a therapeutic candidate. For safety assessment, the compound has been evaluated for its use as a flavoring ingredient. Standard toxicological studies including acute oral toxicity, dermal toxicity, and irritation studies may have been conducted for regulatory approval as a food additive. The compound is listed by the FDA as a flavoring substance and is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) when used as intended.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
