trans-2-Hydroxycinnamic acid

Trans-2-hydroxycinnamic acid is a bioactive phytochemical that has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. It also binds with 4-hydroxycinnamic acid, which is a compound found in coumarin derivatives. Trans-2-hydroxycinnamic acid is an analytical method for determining p-hydroxybenzoic acid, which is a metabolite of trans-2-hydroxycinnamic acid and can be used as an indicator for its presence in food products. Trans-2-hydoxycinnamic acid inhibits mitochondrial membrane potential and induces apoptosis in cancer cells. It also has drug interactions with etoac extract and structural analysis.
