    Product Description

    Tyrosol is a phenol that has been found in olives and olive oil and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3,4 It is fungicidal against H. capsulatum and C. posadasii with minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) values of 170-710 and 1,420 μg/ml, respectively.1 Tyrosol (70-280 mg/kg) increases survival and pulmonary superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and decreases pulmonary macrophage and neutrophil infiltration, edema, inflammation, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in a mouse model of LPS-induced acute lung injury.2 It reduces aqueous humor TNF-α, nitric oxide (NO), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2; Item No. 14010) levels and cellular infiltration in a rat model of ocular endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU).3 Tyrosol also decreases erythrocyte aggregation, increases the oxygen transport capacity index (OTCI), and abolishes cortical microvascular rarefaction in spontaneously hypertensive rats.4
