phenylethanol

2-Phenylethanol (Phenylethanol) is an antimicrobial, antiseptic, and disinfectant. It is used also as an aromatic essence and preservative in pharmaceutics and perfumery.

2-Hydroxyphenethylamine has been found in human testicle tissue, and has also been primarily detected in blood. 2-Hydroxyphenethylamine can be converted into 2-(hydroxymethyl)-4-(1-hydroxy-2-{[6-(4-phenylbutoxy)hexyl]amino}ethyl)phenol.

(S)-(-)-Phenylethanol ((-)-Methyl phenyl carbinol) exists as a solid, soluble (in water), and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). (S)-(-)-Phenylethanol has been detected in multiple biofluids, such as feces and saliva. Within the cell, (S)-(-)-Phenylethanol is primarily located in the cytoplasm.

Magnoloside A (Magloside A) is a phenylethanol glycoside from M. obovata Thunb, a calmodulin phosphatase inhibitor.

Magnoloside B, a phenylethanol glycoside from the fruit of Magnolia officinalis, is an α-glucosidase inhibitor with protective effects against free radical-induced oxidative damage and can be used in cancer research.
