Description

4-Acetylferulic acid is an amide that inhibits the synthesis of inflammatory substances in animals. It can be used to treat inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis, heart disease, and asthma. The mechanism of action for 4-Acetylferulic acid is not fully understood but it has been shown to inhibit the formation of aliphatic hydrocarbons. 4-Acetylferulic acid is also a precursor for the production of propylphosphonic acid and esters with hydrochloric acid and hydrochloride, respectively. It is formed from hydroxy group and an aliphatic hydrocarbon by reaction with solanum tuberosum or fat cells. This compound may also be used as a solvent or plasticizer in polymers.
