p-Hydroxyacetophenone
p-Hydroxyacetophenone, also known as 4-Hydroxyacetophenone, 4-Acetylphenol, p-Acetylphenol, 4-hydroxyphenyl methyl ketone (4-hydroxyphenyl methyl ketone), commonly known as piceol, is a white needle-like crystal at room temperature, flammable, easy to dissolve in hot water, methanol, ethanol, ether, acetone, benzene, difficult to dissolve in petroleum ether. It occurs naturally in THE STEMS AND LEAVES OF ASTERaceae Artemisia, and in the roots OF PLANTS such AS Artemisia japonica, Metaplexia JAPonica, PANax japonica and Saurophyllum JAPonica. This product is used in the manufacture of cholelithiasis and other organic synthesis of raw materials.
Specification: 99%
Solubleness:Soluble in hot water, methanol, ethanol, ether, acetone, benzene, insoluble in petroleum ether. It is soluble in 100 parts water at 22ºCand in 14 parts water at 100ºC.
1.P-hydroxyacetophenone (p-acetophenone) is a key ingredient in the synthesis of a variety of pharmaceutical products, such as antipyretic and analgesic drugs (e.g., acetaminophen). Through chemical modification, it can be converted into compounds with specific pharmacological effects, but it needs to be processed and used in specialized pharmaceutical processes.
2.Antioxidant effect
This component can neutralize free radicals and reduce the damage of cells caused by oxidative stress. Therefore, it is used as an auxiliary antioxidant in some skin care products or health care products to help delay skin aging or protect the stability of components.
3.Antibacterial and antiseptic
P-hydroxyacetophenone has an inhibitory effect on some bacteria (such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus) and fungi. It can be used in daily chemical products for antisepsis or as an auxiliary treatment for mild skin infections, but it needs to be combined with other antibacterial ingredients to enhance the effect.
4.Skin conditioning
In skin care products, it is often used to regulate oil secretion, soothe sensitive skin, especially suitable for oily and easy red skin. Its mild nature reduces the irritation of traditional preservatives and is commonly found in "no addition" category products.
