In vitro study | Xanthone is an organic compound that can be prepared by heating phenyl salicylate. In 1939, xanthone was introduced as an insecticide and is currently used as an ovicidal and larvicidal agent for codling moth eggs. Xanthone is also used in the preparation of xanthydrol, which is used to measure the level of urea in the blood. |
