N-(p-Coumaroyl) serotonin

Description: N-(p-Coumaroyl) Serotonin, a polyphenol isolated from the seeds of safflower, exhibits antioxidant, cardioprotective effects after ischemia, and antitumor activity. It may improve vascular distensibility and reduce cardiovascular risk. N-(p-Coumaroyl) Serotonin ameliorates atherosclerosis and distensibility of the aortic wall in vivo, and is commonly used in atherosclerosis research. Target: PDGFR. Smiles: Oc1ccc(\C=C\C(=O)NCCc2c[nH]c3ccc(O)cc23)cc1.
