MeOBOH
MeOBOH is a small organic molecule that has drawn scientific interest for its potential pharmacological properties. The compound is a heterocyclic derivative characterized by a 1,3-benzoxazole core that bears a methoxy substituent and a hydroxyl group on a pendant side chain. The systematic IUPAC name is 2-(methoxy)benzoxazole-3-ol, and its simple empirical formula can be written as C8H7NO2. MeOBOH is a crystalline solid that is soluble in polar organic solvents such as ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide.
The structure of MeOBOH was first reported in the early 2010s as part of a high‑throughput screening
Animal pharmacokinetic studies have shown that MeOBOH can cross the blood–brain barrier, achieving peak brain concentrations
Because of its activity profile, MeOBOH is considered a potential scaffold for developing new analgesics that
