α-Methylhydrocinnamic acid

CAS: 1009-67-2

Alpha-methylhydrocinnamic acid (AMHA) is a synthetic enantiomer of 2-phenylbutyric acid, which has been shown to inhibit the growth of k562 cells. It is also a substrate for fatty acid synthase and may play an important role in fatty acid metabolism. AMHA has been shown to inhibit the production of reactive oxygen species by phagocytic cells exposed to ionizing radiation, which may be due to its ability to scavenge hydroxyl radicals. The effect of AMHA on hematopoietic cells, including neutrophils and bone marrow cells, has not yet been determined.
