Product Information

• Name: 4-Dimethylaminocinnamic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Dimethylaminocinnamic acid (DMA) is a natural organic compound found in plants and animals. This compound has been studied for its potential use as a drug, but it is not currently used in medicine. 4-Dimethylaminocinnamic acid can inhibit the activity of certain enzymes by binding to them, including the enzyme polymerase chain that synthesizes DNA. It also can bind to other proteins, such as carbonyl groups and cinnamic acid derivatives, which are found in human liver cells. 4-Dimethylaminocinnamic acid can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules due to its hydroxyl group and carboxylic acid group. It also has a high viscosity due to its long hydrocarbon chain.
