Description
colourless to light yellow liquid Cresol is a mixture of the three isomeric cresols, o-, m-, and p-cresol. Cresols are slightly soluble in water. m-Isomer: Colorless or yellow liquid with characteristic odor. m-Cresol has a dry, tarry, medicinal–leathery odor. m-Cresol and p-cresol very often occur together and are difficult to separate.ChEBI: A cresol with the methyl substituent at position 3. It is a minor urinary metabolite of toluene.Colorless liquid with a sweet tarry odor. Sinks and mixe
meta-Cresol, also 3-methylphenol, is an organic compound with the formula CH3C6H4(OH). It is a colourless, viscous liquid that is an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. It is a derivative of phenol, an isomer of p-cresol and o-cresol.

m-Cresol Use and Manufacturing
Isopropyl toluene is generated from toluene and propylene in the presence of aluminum trichloride, and isopropyl toluene hydroperoxide is generated by air oxidation. After acid hydrolysis, acetone and meta- and para-cresols are obtained. The mixed cresol and isobutylene are reacted and then separated by distillation, and then the tert-butyl group is removed.
m-Cresol is an important organic intermediate (building block) to synthetize substituted aryl products.
m-Cresol is used as a disinfectant and solvent.

disinfectant is a 50% (v/v) mixed-cresol isomer in
a soap emulsion formed on mixing with water. The isomer
m-cresol is an oily liquid with low volatility. Besides disinfection
at solutions of 1–5%, the cresols are used in
degreasing compounds, paintbrush cleaners, and additives in
lubricating oils. Cresols were onc

Drug Function and Efficacy
This product is a hypoglycemic drug. The main effect of insulin is to lower blood sugar, and it also affects protein and fat metabolism, including the following effects: 1. Inhibit liver glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, and reduce liver output of glucose; 2. Promote liver uptake of glucose and synthesis of liver glycogen; 3. Promote muscle and adipose tissue to take up glucose and amino acids, promote protein and fat synthesis and storage; 4. Promote the liver to produce very low density lipoprotein and activate lipoprotein lipase, promote the decomposition of very low density lipoprotein; 5. Inhibit the decomposition of fat and protein in fat and muscle, inhibit the production of ketone bodies and promote the use of ketone bodies by surrounding tissues.
