Hexylresorcinol (4-Hexylresorcinol) is a natural compound found in plants with antimicrobial, anthelmintic, antiseptic and antitumor activities. Hexylresorcinol can induce apoptosis in squamous carcinoma cells. Hexylresorcinol is a reversible and noncompetitive inhibitor of α-glucosidase. Hexylresorcinol has protective effects against oxidative DNA damage[1][2][3][4][5].
IC50 & Target
α-glucosidase[4]
体外研究 (In Vitro)
Hexylresorcinol potently inhibits Gram positive bacteria, with MICs of 20-50 mg/L for several Gram positive bacteria. Gram negative bacteria, yeasts and fungi are less sensitive to it[1]. Hexylresorcinol inhibits oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes by increasing levels of glutathione and modulation of antioxidant enzymes (GPX, GR and GST)[2]. Hexylresorcinol (1-10 µg/mL; 24-72 hours) suppresses squamous carcinoma cell line SCC-9 proliferation[3]. Hexylresorcinol has strong antitumor effects by inhibiting calcium channel oscillation and inducing apoptosis[3]. Hexylresorcinol upregulates TGF-β/SMAD/VEGF signaling in endothelial cells and induces vascular regeneration and remodeling for wound healing[5].

体内研究 (In Vivo)
Hexylresorcinol (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; for 16 days) inhibits tumor cell proliferation in mouse tumor xenografts and concomitant application of calcium channel blocker partly reverses the antitumor effect of Hexylresorcinol[3].
