DHMB(CAT: I026019), also known as 3,4-dihydroxy-2-methylbenzoic acid, is an antifungal and anti-inflammatory agent with potential protective effects on intestinal epithelial cells. It has been studied for its therapeutic potential in various conditions involving fungal infections and inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. However, it’s important to note that research on DHMB is still ongoing, and further studies are needed to fully understand its mechanisms of action and potential clinical applications.
