Bifenox, chemically 4-butoxy-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde (C11H14O3, MW 194.23 g/mol), is a hydroxybenzaldehyde derivative. It features a phenolic hydroxyl group and a butoxy substituent on a benzaldehyde scaffold. Therapeutically, it functions as an anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory agent. It exhibits low water solubility and a melting point of 100–110°C. Mechanistically, Bifenox inhibits platelet aggregation by modulating arachidonic acid metabolism, potentially via cyclooxygenase pathway interference.
