Olivetol
Demonstrates potent fungicidal and bactericidal activity against multiple pathogenic microorganisms.
At elevated concentrations, facilitates DNA cleavage through Cu(II) chloride-mediated oxidative mechanisms in the presence of molecular oxygen.
Exhibits clinically documented efficacy against retroviral infections including HIV, along with demonstrated activity against various malignant tumors and carcinomas.
Manifests as a stable colorless to beige solid material with standard storage requirements under inert atmosphere and protection from light.
Olivetol exhibits significant antimicrobial properties, demonstrating both fungicidal and bactericidal activity against numerous pathogenic microorganisms. Contemporary research has established that at elevated concentrations, this 3,5-dihydroxypentylbenzene derivative can initiate DNA strand scission through Cu(II) chloride-mediated oxidative cleavage mechanisms in the presence of molecular oxygen.
