Ethyl vanillin（Cat No.:I017984）, also known as Bourbonal or Ethylprotal, is an analog of vanillin commonly utilized as a flavoring agent and fungicide. It exhibits potent antioxidant activity, making it useful for preserving food products and extending their shelf life. Additionally, ethyl vanillin has been found to inhibit the enzyme 17β-HSD2, with an IC50 value of 1.3 µM. This inhibition of 17β-HSD2 can have implications in various biological processes and may be relevant in the development of therapeutics targeting conditions influenced by this enzyme, such as hormone-related disorders.
