Description

4-Methylesculetin is an orally active natural coumarin derivative, with potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. 4-Methylesculetin inhibits myeloperoxidase activity and reduces IL-6 level[1].


6,7-dihydroxy-4-methylcoumarin is a hydroxycoumarin that is 4-methylcuomarin which is substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 4. A hyaluronan synthesis inhibitor. It has also been used as a fluorescent sensor to monitor the consumption of a boronic acid in Suzuki coupling reactions; fluorescence is readily detectable by the naked eye using a standard 365 nm UV lamp. It has a role as a hyaluronan synthesis inhibitor, an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory agent.

4-Methylesculetin Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

From benzoquinone and acetic anhydride in the presence of concentrated acid to generate phenyl triacetate. Under the action of dilute sulfuric acid, it reacts with ethyl acetoacetate, the reactant is poured into ice water to precipitate the crude methyl esculetine, and the filtered crystals are recrystallized with water to obtain the finished product.

Uses

Used as a fluorescent indicator.
