Description

2-Acetylcoumaric acid is a monohydric, monoketone that can be found in plants and fruits. It is usually found as an oxidation product of hydroxybenzaldehydes and it has neuroprotective properties. The 2-acetylcoumaric acid can be synthesized from propionyl chloride and hydrogen chloride. It is a natural compound that has been shown to have inhibitory effects on the production of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). It also inhibits the production of nitric oxide (NO) by LPS.
2-Acetylcoumaric acid can be prepared from copper chromite or aspirin by reduction with sodium borohydride in ethanol or acetic acid respectively.
