Benzylmethyl ether

Benzylmethyl ether is a derivative of HY-B0892 (Benzyl alcohol) . Benzylmethyl ether is an aromatic alcohol, a colorless liquid with a mild aromatic odor. Benzylmethyl ether is an inhibitor of P450 enzyme. Benzylmethyl ether mediated Toll-Like Receptor 4 to reduce the inflammatory response of liver injury in mice[1][2][3].
