Ethyl dihydroxypropyl PABA, also known as ethyl 4-(2-hydroxypropyl)aminobenzoate, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) derivatives. It is characterized by the presence of an ethyl group and two hydroxyl groups attached to a propyl chain, which contribute to its solubility and reactivity. This compound is primarily recognized for its application in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, particularly as a UV filter in sunscreens due to its ability to absorb ultraviolet light. Ethyl dihydroxypropyl PABA exhibits moderate stability under various conditions, although it may degrade when exposed to prolonged sunlight or extreme pH levels. Its safety profile is generally favorable, but like many chemical substances, it may cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals. The compound's molecular structure allows for interactions with biological systems, making it a subject of interest in studies related to skin protection and photoprotection. Overall, ethyl dihydroxypropyl PABA is valued for its functional properties in topical formulations.
