Ordering Information

Biological Activity

7,8-Dihydroxy-4-methylcoumarin is a synthetic coumarin derivative and antioxidant that functions as a radical scavenger. It neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protects cells against oxidative stress-induced damage. Additionally, this ortho-dihydroxycoumarin serves as a versatile precursor for synthesizing functionalized 4-methylcoumarin derivatives with enhanced biological activities, contributing to the development of novel therapeutic and antioxidant agents.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
