Biological Activity

Description 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid (p-hydroxybenzoic acid, PHBA, para-Hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoate), also known as p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA), is a phenolic derivative of benzoic acid and widely used in organic synthesis. It is the most widely distributed aromatic organic acid in the vegetable kingdom.
In vivo Subcutaneous administration of PHBA produces an estrogen-like effect in CD1 mice inducing vaginal cornification and increasing the uterine weight for both immature female mice and ovariectomized animals. These effects are dose-dependent[1].
