Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Mono Acid Esters Derived from the Constituents of <i>Urtica pilulifera</i>

Abstract

New mono acid esters have been synthesized from the reaction of benzoic acid and mono-hydroxybenzoic acids with 2-phenoxyethanol separated from Urtica pilulifera, characterized, and screened for possible antioxidant, antifungal, antimicrobial and anticancer activities.
