Methyl 3-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoate

Methyl 3-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoate is a benzoylated meroterpenoid that is biosynthesized from geranyl and malonate. It has been shown to have bioactivities and medicinal properties in hepg2 cells, which are human hepatoblastoma cells. Methyl 3-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoate has been shown to inhibit the enzyme hepg2 cell line, transcriptomic analysis, houben-hoesch reaction, geranyl, malonate, benzoylation, biosynthesis, pyridine, electrophilic, benzoylated (HMGCoA reductase), inhibiting cholesterol synthesis and increasing the production of bile acids. This compound also suppresses the growth of cancerous cells by inducing apoptosis.
