Eugenol / ˈ j uː dʒ ɪ n ɒ l / is an allyl chain-substituted guaiacol, a member of the allylbenzene class of chemical compounds. [2] It is a colorless to pale yellow, aromatic oily liquid extracted from certain essential oils especially from clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, basil and bay leaf.
A metabolic network is the complete set of metabolic and physical processes that determine the physiological and biochemical properties of a cell.As such, these networks comprise the chemical reactions of metabolism, the metabolic pathways, as well as the regulatory interactions that guide these reactions.
An example of a coupled reaction is the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to form the intermediate fructose-1,6-bisphosphate by the enzyme phosphofructokinase accompanied by the hydrolysis of ATP in the pathway of glycolysis. The resulting chemical reaction within the metabolic pathway is highly thermodynamically favorable and, as a ...
Metabolism (/ m ə ˈ t æ b ə l ɪ z ə m /, from Greek: μεταβολή metabolē, "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms.The three main functions of metabolism are: the conversion of the energy in food to energy available to run cellular processes; the conversion of food to building blocks of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates; and the ...
Methoxyphenol or hydroxyanisole may refer to: 2-Methoxyphenol (guaiacol, o -methoxyphenol, methylcatechol, 2-hydroxyanisole) 3-Methoxyphenol ( m -methoxyphenol, m -guaiacol, resorcinol monomethyl ether, 3-hydroxyanisole, m -hydroxyanisole)
Guaiacol (/ ˈ ɡ w aɪ ə k ɒ l /) is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (OH)(OCH 3). It is a phenolic compound containing a methoxy functional group. Guaiacol appears as a viscous colorless oil, although aged or impure samples are often yellowish.
In the simplest example oxygen can be used as it exists naturally in its triplet state (i.e. it is a diradical). This is referred to as air inhibition and is a diffusion-controlled reaction with rates typically in the order of 10 7 –10 9 mol −1 s −1 , [ 3 ] the resulting peroxy radicals (ROO•) are less reactive towards polymerisation.
Mequinol is a common active ingredient in topical drugs used for skin depigmentation.As a topical drug mequinol is often mixed with tretinoin, a topical retinoid.A common formulation for this drug is an ethanolic solution of 2% mequinol and 0.01% tretinoin by mass. [1]
