Pharmacological action

p-cresol is a widely occurring natural and manufactured group of aromatic organic compounds, which is categorized as phenols (sometimes

called phenolics).odor characteristic to that of other simple phenols, reminiscent to some of a "coal tar" smell.p-cresol could reduce cardiovascular

disease risk, components of a horse sex pheromone, depress phagocyte functional capacity, as a toxin, immune defect Leukocyte adhesion, etc.
