What is Homovanillyl alcohol?
Chemical properties
Homovanillyl alcohol is a yellow to light brown crystalline chunks with an odorant found in strawberries, grapes and olive oil. Homovanillyl alcohol has high scavenging activities and inhibits homocysteine-induced endothelial cell adhesion.
The Uses of Homovanillyl alcohol
Homovanillyl alcohol is a biological metabolite of Hydroxytyrosol. Hydroxytyrosol is a phenolic compound that is present in virgin olive oil (VOO) and wine. Homovanillyl alcohol protects red blood cells (RBCs) from oxidative injury and has protective effect on cardiovascular disease. It was used in the preparation of galactosides.
