Amylmetacresol (AMC) is an antiseptic used to treat infections of the mouth and throat. It is used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient in Strepsils, Cēpacol, Gorpils and Lorsept throat lozenges.
Chemically, AMC is derivative of m-cresol, with a pentyl group attached to the sixth carbon atom. The pure substance melts at 24°C, and boils between 137 to 139°C (at 6.7 kPa). It is soluble in water, ethanol, acetone, ether, and oil. AMC exhibits low toxicity, and a RW coefficient of 250.[1]
