N-Acetyl-4-S-cysteaminylphenol, with the CAS number 91281-32-2, is a chemical compound that features a phenolic structure modified by the presence of an N-acetyl group and a cysteamine moiety. This compound is characterized by its potential antioxidant properties, attributed to the phenolic hydroxyl group, which can donate electrons and neutralize free radicals. The presence of the N-acetyl group enhances its solubility and stability, while the cysteamine component may contribute to its biological activity, particularly in cellular processes involving thiol groups. N-Acetyl-4-S-cysteaminylphenol may exhibit various pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Its synthesis typically involves the acylation of cysteamine with an appropriate phenolic precursor. As with many chemical substances, its safety profile, including toxicity and environmental impact, should be evaluated through comprehensive studies before any practical applications.

N-Acetyl-4-S-cysteaminylphenol is a tyrosinase inhibitor that is used in the treatment of skin disorders such as melasma and vitiligo. It slows the production of melanin by inhibiting tyrosinase activity and may be useful for treating some types of skin cancer. N-Acetyl-4-S-cysteaminylphenol also inhibits the growth of tumor cells, but not normal cells, which may be due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis. This compound has been shown to inhibit cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and cellular processes associated with the proliferation of cancer cells.

Applications N-{2-[(4-Hydroxyphenyl)sulfanyl]ethyl}acetamide (cas# 91281-32-2) is a useful compound for use as a skin-lightening agent; cosmetic applications.
