HIDE SMILES / InChI
Racemic RS-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanol (rhododendrol, RD) was used as a topical skin-whitening agent until it was recently reported to induce leukoderma. (+)-Rhododendrol is its S(+)-RD enantiomer. (+)-rhododendrol suppresses the NO production by activated macrophages in vivo. As NO is one of the critical mediators in inflammation, these results suggest that (+)-rhododendrol contributes in part to the anti-inflammatory effect of A. nikoense.

Sample Use Guides

Mice: (+)-rhododendrol significantly reduced the maximal level of NO release in the LPS-stimulated M when given p.o. To examine the influence of administration timing on the NO production, (+)-rhododendrol was i.p. injected at a dose of 30 mg/kg before (day —2), simultaneously (day 0), or after (day + 2) BCG-immunization, respectively.
Route of Administration: Other
(+)-rhododendrol strongly inhibited melanogenesis in melanoma cell with the melanin content of 23.4% at 25 ug/ml.
