Common Name | Methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate |

Description | Methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate, also known as methyl salicylate, 2-(methoxycarbonyl)phenol or 2-carbomethoxyphenol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as o-hydroxybenzoic acid esters. These are benzoic acid esters where the benzene ring is ortho-substituted with a hydroxy group. Methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate is a mint, peppermint, and wintergreen tasting compound. Methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within hyssops and bilberries. Methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as chinese cinnamons, tamarinds, tea, mushrooms, and roselles. Minor metabolism may occur in various tissues but hepatic metabolism constitutes the majority of metabolic processes of absorbed methyl salicylate. Methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate is a potentially toxic compound. Present in white wine, tea, porcini mushroom Boletus edulis, Bourbon vanilla, clary sage, red sage and fruits including cherry, apple, raspberry, papaya and plum. For acute joint and muscular pain, Methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate is used as a rubefacient and analgesic in deep heating liniments. This is thought to mask the underlying musculoskeletal pain and discomfort. Severe toxicity can result in acute lung injury, lethargy, coma, seizures, cerebral edema, and death. Counter-irritation is believed to cause a soothing sensation of warmth. Methyl salicylate plays a role as a signaling molecule in plants. |
