| Bioactivity | Phenyl benzoate is a benzoate ester obtained by the formal condensation of phenol with benzoic acid. Phenyl benzoate is a chloride transport blocker, inhibits Cl--dependent Glu accumulation into vesicles. Phenyl benzoate can be used as preservative in cosmetic products[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Phenyl benzoate (DPC) (0.1 μM-1 mM; 15 min) inhibits the Ca2+/Cl--dependent and -independent L-[3H]Glu (100 nM) binding to rat brain membranes[1]. | ||||||||||||
