Acetaminophen dimer is a unique compound that is commonly used as an excipient in various pharmaceutical formulations. It has been found to exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it a valuable ingredient in products designed to combat bacterial infections. The dimerization of acetaminophen enhances its cation-binding abilities, allowing it to effectively inhibit the growth and proliferation of bacteria. One notable characteristic of acetaminophen dimer is its ability to interact with dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in various physiological processes. This interaction may have implications for the treatment of certain neurological disorders. Research Chemicals have shown that acetaminophen dimer has self-diffusion coefficients that indicate its potential for slow-release applications. This property makes it suitable for use in drug delivery systems where controlled release of active agents is desired. Furthermore, acetaminophen dimer can form metal chelates, which are complexes formed between the compound and metal ions. These metal chelates have been found to possess enhanced antim

Applications Acetaminophen Dimer is an oxidatively couple dimer of Acetaminaphen (A161220), an analgesic and antipyretic agent used as a pain reliever to treat headache, muscle aches, and arthritis (1). Acetaminophen Dimer along with other p-acetamidophenol analogs were used to determine peroxidase activities (2,3). References (1) McGill, M. R. and Jaeschke, H.
