Product Introduction
2-Phenylethanol AI Summary
2-Phenylethanol exhibits a range of biological activities relevant to various applications. It demonstrates binding affinity to beta cyclodextrin with a log Ks value of 2.15. It has shown bioactivities related to the inhibition of enzymes such as Tyrosyl-DNA Phosphodiesterase (TDP1) and Human Apurinic/apyrimidinic Endonuclease 1 (APE1), and it is potent in inducing DNA re-replication in SW480 colon adenocarcinoma cells. This compound has also been tested for blocking the entry of the Ebola virus, showing potency in the low nanomolar to low micromolar range. In agricultural contexts, 2-Phenylethanol shows thrips luring activity against various species, including female Thrips tabaci, male New Zealand Thrips obscuratus, and female New Zealand Thrips obscuratus, with ratios of 3.8, 9.5, and 9.8, respectively. It also exhibits antifungal activity against Colletotrichum camelliae with significant mycelial growth inhibition at different concentrations, achieving up to 92.6% inhibition. The compound displays fungitoxicity against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and fungicidal activity against Athelia rolfsii and Pythium sp. Additionally, it has shown bioactively both in growth inhibition and germination inhibition in Triticum aestivum (wheat) seeds. Regarding antiviral activities, 2-Phenylethanol has shown some efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 by inhibiting virus-induced cytotoxicity in VERO-6 cells, although with relatively weak potency as indicated by IC50 values greater than 20,000 nM. It also displays bioactivity in inhibiting tyrosinase with an IC50 of 315.0 ug/mL and antibacterial activity against Fusobacterium nucleatum with an MIC of 8.0 ug/mL..
