4-Methylsyringol is a natural product that can be isolated from hardwoods.
4-Methylsyringol (2,6-dimethoxy-4-methylphenol) (CAS 6638-05-7) is a natural product that can be isolated from hardwood and Pinus yunnanensis. It has the molecular formula C₉H₁₂O₃ and a molecular weight of 168.19 g/mol. The compound is a phenolic fragrance type with a medicinal odor. 4-Methylsyringol has potential use as an insecticide and acts as a cholinesterase inhibitor, inhibiting the action of acetylcholinesterase. Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter important for cognitive function and muscle control. It is intended for research use only.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE). 4-Methylsyringol is a cholinesterase inhibitor that inhibits the action of acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter important for cognitive function and muscle control. By inhibiting AChE, the compound increases acetylcholine levels, which can affect nerve signal transmission. Its potential use as an insecticide is based on this mechanism.
ln Vitro
4-Methylsyringol acts as a cholinesterase inhibitor, inhibiting acetylcholinesterase activity. As a natural product isolated from hardwood and Pinus yunnanensis, it has potential use as an insecticide. Its specific in vitro activities depend on the concentrations tested and the assay systems used. The compound’s fragrance properties also make it of interest for aroma research.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies of 4-methylsyringol are limited. As a cholinesterase inhibitor with potential use as an insecticide, it may have effects on the nervous system of insects and other organisms. The compound is a natural product from hardwood and Pinus yunnanensis. Further in vivo studies are needed to characterize its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, as well as its efficacy and safety as an insecticide.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based assays for 4-methylsyringol include acetylcholinesterase inhibition assays using purified enzyme. The enzyme is incubated with acetylcholine substrate in the presence of various concentrations of the compound, and enzyme activity is measured by detecting the hydrolysis product using Ellman’s method or similar assays. The IC₅₀ value is calculated from the dose-response curve. Standard analytical methods including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry are used for compound characterization.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for 4-methylsyringol use neuronal cell lines to assess acetylcholinesterase inhibition and its effects on neuronal function. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations, and acetylcholinesterase activity in cell lysates is measured. The compound’s effects on acetylcholine levels and neuronal signaling can be assessed. Cytotoxicity is assessed using standard cell viability assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies of 4-methylsyringol are limited. Based on its acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, potential animal models include: insect models for evaluating insecticidal activity; and rodent models for studying effects on the nervous system. Standard protocols for these models involve administration of the compound followed by measurement of relevant endpoints.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
4-Methylsyringol has a molecular formula of C₉H₁₂O₃ and a molecular weight of 168.19 g/mol. Purity is ≥99.63%. It is a natural product isolated from hardwood and Pinus yunnanensis. The compound is a phenolic fragrance type with a medicinal odor. It should be stored under recommended conditions. It is intended for research use only.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for 4-methylsyringol are limited. As a cholinesterase inhibitor, it may have effects on the nervous system at high doses. Standard laboratory safety practices should be followed when handling this compound.

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • 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)
