Application

Resorcinol has been used in resorcinol staining for visualizing the gangliosides.[1] It has also been used for estimating sialic acids by colorimetric assay.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Resorcinol is an aromatic alcohol serves as an antiseptic. It reduces pain from painful nodules in patients suffering from Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).[3]

Resorcinol peels as a possible self-treatment of painful nodules in hidradenitis suppurativa.

J Boer et al.

Clinical and experimental dermatology, 35(1), 36-40 (2009-06-25)

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by abscess formation localized to apocrine sweat gland-bearing skin. The most important factor in patients' overall assessment of disease severity is pain. The duration of abscesses takes days to weeks

Glucosamine induces cell-cycle arrest and hypertrophy of mesangial cells: implication of gangliosides.

Elodie Masson et al.

The Biochemical journal, 388(Pt 2), 537-544 (2005-01-19)

Alterations in proliferation and hypertrophy of renal mesangial cells are typical features of diabetic nephropathy. The HP (hexosamine pathway) has been proposed as a biochemical hypothesis to explain microvascular alterations due to diabetic nephropathy; however, involvement of HP in the

A Degenerate Peptide Library Approach to Reveal Sequence Determinants of Methyllysine-Driven Protein Interactions.

Ariana Kupai et al.

Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 8, 241-241 (2020-04-25)

Lysine methylation facilitates protein-protein interactions through the activity of methyllysine (Kme) "reader" proteins. Functions of Kme readers have historically been studied in the context of histone interactions, where readers aid in chromatin-templated processes such as transcription, DNA replication and repair.

Double-fold C-H oxygenation of arenes using PyrDipSi: a general and efficient traceless/modifiable silicon-tethered directing group.

Anton V Gulevich et al.

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 134(12), 5528-5531 (2012-03-15)

The efficient Pd-catalyzed double-fold C-H oxygenation of arenes into resorcinols using the newly developed 2-pyrimidyldiisopropylsilyl (PyrDipSi) directing group is described. Its use allows for the sequential introduction of OAc and OPiv groups in a one-pot manner to produce orthogonally protected

Analysis of alkylresorcinols in cereal grains and products using ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography with fluorescence, ultraviolet, and CoulArray electrochemical detection.

Alastair B Ross

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 60(36), 8954-8962 (2012-08-14)

Alkylresorcinols are phenolic lipids, with homologues ranging from C17 to C25, found in high concentrations in whole grain wheat and rye, lower concentrations in barley, and negligible concentrations in refined wheat flour. The analysis of alkylresorcinols is of importance due
