2. Product Description
Olivetol features a wide range of biological activities, and it can effectively kill many kinds of pathogenic fungi and bacteria. In recent studies, it has been discovered that high-concentration 3,5-dihydroxyalkylbenzene can trigger DNA breakage under the coexistence of copper chloride and oxygen. Therefore, olivetol is adopted to suppress and treat retrovirus-caused human immunodeficiency, cancer and other malignant tumors, with remarkable curative effects.

5. Product Applications
Olivetol is an important pharmaceutical intermediate. It was first prepared by degrading usnic acid (also named D-usronic acid, amyl lichen deoxyphenolic acid) extracted from lichen plants. It is mainly used as a precursor for the synthesis of tetrahydrocannabinol-related compounds in laboratory research & development and industrial chemical production.
