Product Description
4-Allylcatechol (4-Allylpyrocatechol, Hydroxychavicol) is an intermediate in the preparation /synthesis of safrole.
4-Allylcatechol (CAS: 1126-61-0), also known as hydroxychavicol or 4-allylpyrocatechol, is a naturally occurring phenylpropanoid compound primarily isolated from the leaves of Piper betle (betel leaf). It is an intermediate in the preparation/synthesis of safrole. This compound has been reported to possess diverse biological activities including antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and neuroprotective properties. It exists in two isomeric forms, with 4-allylcatechol being the more extensively studied isomer.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
4-Allylcatechol targets multiple cellular pathways including collagen-induced platelet aggregation, with an IC₅₀ of 5.3 μM. It also exhibits activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv with an MIC of 27.6 μg/mL. The compound acts as an antioxidant by scavenging free radicals and singlet oxygen, protecting mitochondria from photosensitization-induced damage. It has been reported as an antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory agent with diverse pharmacological activities.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 4-allylcatechol shows strong inhibitory activity against collagen-induced platelet aggregation with an IC₅₀ of 5.3 μM. It exhibits antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv with an MIC of 27.6 μg/mL. The compound demonstrates potent antioxidant activity, protecting rat liver mitochondria from photosensitization-induced damage to lipids and proteins by scavenging free radicals and singlet oxygen. It also shows cytotoxicity in HT29 cells and anti-inflammatory activity.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 4-allylcatechol has been shown to reduce cognitive deficits and mitigate oxidative stress in animal models, suggesting neuroprotective effects in Alzheimer's disease models. Its antioxidant properties protect against oxidative damage in various tissues. The compound's anti-inflammatory activity has been demonstrated in animal models of inflammation. The compound is naturally consumed as part of betel leaf chewing, suggesting low toxicity in traditional use.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cell enzyme/receptor binding assays, 4-allylcatechol antioxidant activity is assessed using cell-free radical-scavenging assays such as DPPH, ABTS, and ORAC. The compound's ability to scavenge free radicals and singlet oxygen is measured spectrophotometrically. Its protective effects on lipids and proteins can be assessed using mitochondrial membrane preparations exposed to photosensitization-induced damage. IC₅₀ values for various activities are determined from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell-based assays, 4-allylcatechol is tested in various cell types including platelets, cancer cells, and neuronal cells. Platelet aggregation assays measure the compound's inhibitory effect on collagen-induced aggregation. Cytotoxicity is assessed in HT29 cells using cell viability assays. Antioxidant activity is measured by assessing protection against oxidative stress-induced cell damage. Neuroprotective effects are evaluated in neuronal cell models of Alzheimer's disease.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal experiments, 4-allylcatechol is typically administered orally or intraperitoneally to rodent models. Cognitive function is assessed in Alzheimer's disease models using behavioral tests. Oxidative stress markers are measured in brain and other tissues. The compound's anti-inflammatory activity is evaluated in inflammation models. Mitochondrial function and oxidative damage are assessed in liver and other tissues following compound administration.

  • 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)
