4-Methoxycinnamic Acid

4-Methoxycinnamic acid is a phenolic acid with diverse biological activities. It reduces A. fumigatus biofilm formation when used at concentrations ranging from 0.4 to 3.2 mM. In vivo, 4-methoxycinnamic acid (80 mg/kg) reduces the number of dysplastic aberrant crypt foci and dysplastic liver cells in a rat model of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced colon carcinogenesis. It reverses MK-801-induced decreases in the preference ratio for the novel object in the novel object recognition test in mice. 4-Methoxycinnamic acid (40 mg/kg) reduces plasma glucose concentrations in a rat model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ, Cay-13104).Formal Name: 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-propenoic acid.
