Resorcinol, MP Biomedicals™

Description

Resorcinol is an aromatic alcohol used in large scale processes, dermatology research, and in colorimetric assays for sialic acid.

• Resorcinol is an aromatic alcohol used in large scale processes such as tanning, the manufacture of resins and resin adhesives, the production of hexylresorcinol and p-aminosalicylic acid, and the dyeing and printing of textiles.
• Resorcinol is used in dermatology research, such as in studies of irritant contact dermatitis.
• The role of resorcinol in causing cytotoxicity and cytokine release in human epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts has been studied.
• The cytoxicity of resorcinol and other phenolic compounds against the melanotic human melanoma cell lines IRE 1 and IRE 2, and the lymphoma- and leukemia-derived cell lines Raji and K 562 has been studied, at phenolic compound concentrations of 10 μM to 5 mM.
• The use of resorcinol in a colorimetric assay for sialic acid has been reported.
