cis-2-methoxycinnamic acid

Description:

Cis-2-methoxycinnamic acid is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a methoxy group (-OCH₃) attached to a cinnamic acid backbone. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid, exhibiting moderate solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol, while being less soluble in water. The cis configuration of the double bond in the cinnamic acid moiety influences its physical and chemical properties, including its reactivity and potential biological activity. Cis-2-methoxycinnamic acid is known for its potential applications in the fields of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, particularly due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it may serve as a precursor in organic synthesis or as a building block for more complex molecules. Its stability under various conditions, along with its ability to absorb UV light, makes it of interest in formulations aimed at protecting skin from UV damage. As with many organic compounds, proper handling and storage are essential to maintain its integrity and efficacy.

cis-2-Methoxycinnamic acid

CAS: 14737-91-8

Cis-2-Methoxycinnamic acid is a chemical compound that is an aromatic derivative of cinnamic acid. It is a white crystalline solid with a melting point around 170 °C and a boiling point of about 250 °C. Cis-2-Methoxycinnamic acid has been shown to inhibit the production of tyrosinase, which is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of tyrosine to melanin and affects skin pigmentation. This inhibition prevents the formation of cancerous cells by inhibiting the division and growth of hematopoietic cells. Cis-2-Methoxycinnamic acid also inhibits fatty acid synthesis in leukemia cells, preventing their proliferation.
