Hexylresorcinol is predominantly employed as the active ingredient in lotions, sprays, or lozenges indicated as a (a) topical antiseptic to help prevent skin infection in minor cuts, scrapes, or burns, or (b) as an antiseptic and local anesthetic for the relief of a sore throat and its associated pain. In addition, hexylresorcinol is used as an active ingredient in various commercial cosmetic skincare products as an anti-aging cream while other studies have looked into whether or not the compound could be used effectively as an anti-inflammatory agent or even as an anti-cancer therapy.
Hexylresorcinol is a phenol derivative, and in typical therapeutic usage is primarily a local anesthetic for topical use on the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat. The local anesthetic like properties of hexylresorcinol is likely due to its sodium channel blocking effects. The agent also demonstrates mild antiseptic activity as well as an apparent anti-inflammatory, demulcent action.
Anthelmintics
Agents that kill parasitic worms. They are used therapeutically in the treatment of HELMINTHIASIS in man and animal. (See all compounds classified as Anthelmintics.)

Absorption
Owing to the poor absorption of hexylresorcinol, systemic exposure and symptoms are unusual.
Route of Elimination
When two men received doses of 1 g of hexylresorcinol, an average of 18% of the dose was recovered in the urine within the first 12 hours - thereafter, the compound was not detected in urine samples.
Volume of Distribution
Readily accessible data regarding the volume of distribution of hexylresorcinol is not available. Nevertheless, when hexylresorcinol is employed in its primary indication as a topical antiseptic or an oral anesthetic, it is generally accepted that pharmacokinetic considerations do not arise since the pharmacological action is local to the topically applied or oro-pharyngeal cavity area.
Clearance
Readily accessible data regarding the clearance of hexylresorcinol is not available. Nevertheless, when hexylresorcinol is employed in its primary indication as a topical antiseptic or an oral anesthetic, it is generally accepted that pharmacokinetic considerations do not arise since the pharmacological action is local to the topically applied or oro-pharyngeal cavity area.
Dogs were given single doses of 1 or 3 g 4-hexylresorcinol (equivalent to 100 or 300 mg/kg bw) as crystals in gelatin capsules or as a solution in olive oil, and excretion monitored in urine and feces. After administration of 1 g crystalline compound, 29% of the dose was detected in urine and 67% in feces; when the dose was increased to 3 g, 17% was excreted in urine and 73% in feces. Urinary excretion was rapid, mainly in the first 6 hr, and levels were virtually undetectable 12 hr after the lower dose and 24-36 hr following the higher dose. When 4-hexylresorcinol was administered in olive oil, a dose of 1 g resulted in 17% being excreted in urine and 76% in feces, while 10% was excreted in urine and 80% in feces following a dose of 3 g.

Regarding the metabolism of hexylresorcinol, it has been reported that excretion of the compound in the urine is largely in the form of an ethereal sulfate conjugate.

Readily accessible data regarding the half-life of hexylresorcinol is not available. Nevertheless, when hexylresorcinol is employed in its primary indication as a topical antiseptic or an oral anesthetic, it is generally accepted that pharmacokinetic considerations do not arise since the pharmacological action is local to the topically applied or oro-pharyngeal cavity area.
When acting as an oral anesthetic for relieving sore throats, it is generally believed that hexylresorcinol is possibly capable of blocking voltage-gated neuronal sodium channels, which in turn would inhibit the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses for feeling or transmitting pain signals in the local area to which the hexylresorcinol is applied. As an antiseptic agent, studies have demonstrated that hexylresorcinol is capable of eliciting actions like reducing or inhibiting the generation of bacterial biofilm, interfering with bacterial cell chain formation, reducing bacterial adherence of the pharynx, inhibition of glycolytic enzyme and pH drops, and alteration of cell surface hydrophobicity. Unfortunately, there are either antibiotics that function even more effectively at formally treating bacterial growth or there are also other plant-derived phenolic compounds similar to hexylresorcinol that elicit stronger such mechanisms of action. Nevertheless, it is useful for hexylresorcinol to have both anesthetic and certain antiseptic actions for its use in treating various relatively self-limiting scrapes and sore throats that are treated by the over-the-counter products that feature the compound. Early studies in the 1930s and 1940s suggested that there were more effective medicines over hexylresorcinol that could be employed for their anthelmintic effects. As an anti-inflammatory and anti-aging agent, some studies have shown that it may be possible for hexylresorcinol to inhibit the phosphorylation of the immune response mediator NF-kappaB and also elicit a significant skin lightening effect owing to a strong inhibitory effect on tyrosinase and peroxidase and a stimulatory effect on glutathione and E-cadherin syntheses. It is proposed that hexylresorcinol can bind to tyrosinase directly and inhibits its enzyme activity. Literature data suggests that low glutathione levels relates to the deposition of melanin in the skin of humans and other animals, while high glutathione levels inhibit melanogenesis. And ultimately, it is also reported that glutathione depletion increases tyrosinase activity in human melanoma cells, which makes hexylresorcinol's effects on tyrosinase desirable. Finally, there are ongoing studies that have reported hexylresorcinol's abilities to induce the differentiation of SCC-9 squamous cell cell-line by way of the modulation of the E2F-mediated signaling pathway and suppress the growth of squamous cell carcinoma SCC-9 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, such studies have also shown that hexylresorcinol is seemingly capable of dose-dependent induction of SCC-9 cell apoptosis as well as the inhibition of transglutaminase-2 enzyme activity which can facilitate chemotherapy resistance.
