General description
Beechwood creosote is a colorless to yellowish greasy liquid obtained from the distillation of wood tar. It comprises of phenol, 4-methylphenol, 2-methoxyphenol, and 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol as its major volatile constituents.
Application
Creosote from beechwood tar has been used as raw material in the synthesis of phenolic branched-chain fatty acids (n-PBC-FA) in the presence of a modified H+ Ferrierite zeolite catalyst.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Creosote from beechwood tar has been reported to exhibit antioxidant activity comparable to that of popular antioxidants α-tocopherol and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). It is used as a herbal antidiarrheal medicine owing to its antisecretory activity. Beechwood creosote has also been found to show bactericidal, fungicidal and laxative action.
