1,3-Benzenediol

1,3-Benzenediol, also known as resorcin or m-hydroquinone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as resorcinols. Resorcinols are compounds containing a resorcinol moiety, which is a benzene ring bearing two hydroxyl groups at positions 1 and 3. 1,3-Benzenediol exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 1,3-Benzenediol is a creamy, hawthorn, and musty tasting compound. 1,3-Benzenediol has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as alcoholic beverages, cereals and cereal products, coffee and coffee products, eggplants, and java plums. This could make 1,3-benzenediol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 1,3-Benzenediol is a potentially toxic compound. In addition, exogenous ochronosis is associated with prolonged exposure to resorcinol . Data regarding the specific mechanisms of action of resorcinol does not appear to be readily accessible in the literature. Nevertheless, the role played by iodide ions in the irreversible inactivation of the enzymes is not yet fully elucidated . Resorcinol works by helping to remove hard, scaly, or roughened skin. In particular, it appears that resorcinol indicated for treating acne, dermatitis, or eczema in various skin care topical applications and peels revolves around the compound's ability to precipitate cutaneous proteins from the treated skin . In LPO and TPO, the resulting π-cation radical of the porphyrin can isomerize to a radical cation with the radical in an aromatic side chain of the enzyme . In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that resorcinol can inhibit peroxidases in the thyroid and subsequently block the synthesis of thyroid hormones and cause goiter .
