4-Methoxycinnamic acid ethyl ester

• Description :

  4-Methoxycinnamic acid ethyl ester (Ethyl p-methoxycinnamate) is an orally active natural compound found. 4-Methoxycinnamic acid ethyl ester exerts anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX-1 (IC50 = 1.12 μM) and COX-2 (IC50 = 0.83 μM) ), NF-κB (IC50 = 88.7 μM) and cytokine production (TNF-α (IC50 = 96.84 μg/mL) and IL-1β (IC50 = 166.4 μg/mL) ) . 4-Methoxycinnamic acid ethyl ester inhibits tumor cell proliferation, migration and cancer metabolism and induces apoptosis.4-Methoxycinnamic acid ethyl ester inhibits VEGF expression, thereby inhibiting angiogenesis. 4-Methoxycinnamic acid ethyl ester has a significant inhibitory effect on dengue virus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 4-Methoxycinnamic acid ethyl ester has analgesic effects in rats[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].
