Natural Product Identification
Common NameMequinol
DescriptionMequinol, also known as 4-hydroxyanisole or 4-methoxyphenol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. Mequinol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Mequinol is a phenolic tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Mequinol has been detected, but not quantified in, anises and sweet marjorams. This could make mequinol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Conversely, tretinoin has been observed to serve as a potent inhibitor of mammalian GSTs and to be capable of reducing the level of intracellular GSH in various cells. Such products are not indicated for oral ingestion. Nevertheless, skin cells are naturally capable of protecting themselves against such cytotoxic entities by endogenous intracellular glutathione (GSH). Regardless, it is consequently by way of this seemingly negative and damaging pharmacodynamic profile by which the mechanism of action of mequinol is sometimes described. Urine samples from melanoma patients treated with mequinol were analyzed and various mequinol metabolites were identified, including 3,4-dihydroxyanisole, the two o-methyl derivatives 3-hydroxy-4-methoxyanisole and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyanisole, and even hydroquinone which may have originated at least partly from mequinol. It is used as an inhibitor for acrylic monomers and acrylonitirles, as a stabilizer for chlorinated hydrocarbons and ethyl cellulose, as an ultraviolet inhibitor, as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of antioxidants, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, and dyestuffs. Mequinol is found in Ascia monuste, Dorstenia turbinata, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Ophiocordyceps sinensis, Pyrola media and Senna corymbosa. Mequinol is in fact considered a melanocytotoxic chemical which when oxidized in melanocytes results in the formation of toxic entities like quinones.
