Application

4-Hexylresorcinol is used as the starting material to synthesize a potent immune suppressor, celastramycin A. It is a precursor to prepare resorcinol-sn-glycerol derivatives, that exhibit high affinity for cannabinoid type 1 receptor. It can also be incorporated as a linker while building catenanes.

Tyrosinase inhibitors are of great clinical interest as agents for the treatment of hyperpigmentary disorders; however, most compounds described in the literature lack clinical efficiency due to insufficient inhibitory activity against human tyrosinase (hTyr). Recently, we reported that thiazolyl resorcinols
