| Ethyl 4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxycinnamate Usage And Synthesis |
Description | Ferulic acid is a hydroxycinnamic acid that is abundant in plants and originally derived from giant fennel (F. communis). This naturally-occurring phenolic has antioxidant activities that provide protection against inflammation and cancer. Ferulic acid ethyl ester is a lipophilic derivative of ferulic acid, demonstrating increased ability to cross cell membranes. Ferulic acid ethyl ester has less antioxidant capacity than ferulic acid in neuronal PC12 cells (IC50 = 66.7 μM for ferulic acid ethyl ester vs. 44.6 μM for ferulic acid, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging). However, ferulic acid ethyl ester increases the expression of heme oxygenase-1, Hsp70, and Hsp72, providing neuroprotection against amyloid β-peptide. Moreover, ferulic acid ethyl ester (25 μM) completely prevents cytotoxicity induced by ultraviolet B irradiation of normal human epidermal melanocytes, again associated with an induced expression of heme oxygenase-1 and Hsp70. | Uses | Ferulic acid ethyl ester is an ethyl ester derivative of Ferulic acid (F308900), which is used as an antioxidant and food preservative. |
