Uses
3-Methyl orsellinic acid is the fungal metabolite. 3-Methyl orsellinic acid can be used for synthesis of tripodalsporormielones AeC, and exhibits potential in researches related to memory and cognition[1].
Definition
ChEBI: 3-methylorsellinic acid is a dihydroxybenzoic acid that is o-orsellinic acid in which the hydrogen at position 3 is substituted by a methyl group. It has a role as a fungal metabolite, an antibacterial agent and an Aspergillus metabolite. It is a dihydroxybenzoic acid and a member of resorcinols. It is functionally related to an o-orsellinic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-methylorsellinate.
