General description

2-Amino-5-methylphenol reacts with bovine hemoglobin to form 2-amino-4,4α-dihydro-4α-7-dimethyl-3H-phenoxazine-3-one, which inhibits the proliferation of Poliovirus in Vero cells. It is converted to dihydrophenoxazinone by purified human hemoglobin.

Application

2-Amino-5-methylphenol was used in the synthesis of tridentate Schiff base ligand and novel non-metallocene catalysts with phenoxy-imine ligands.

2-Amino-4,4alpha-dihydro-4alpha-7-dimethyl-3H-phenoxazine-3-one (Phx), which was produced by the reaction of bovine hemoglobin with 2-amino-5-methylphenol, inhibited the proliferation of poliovirus in Vero cells between 0.25 microg/ml and 2 microg/ml with maximal antiviral acitivity at 1 microg/ml. These results suggest that Phx may

We found that 2-amino-5-methylphenol was converted to the dihydrophenoxazinone with a reddish brown color by purified human hemoglobin, lysates of human erythrocytes, and human erythrocytes. The reddish brown compound was identified as 2-amino-4,4 alpha-dihydro-4 alpha,7-dimethyl-3H-phenoxazin-3-one by the measurement of NMR
