Description

2,5-Dihydroxycinnamic acid is an intermediate in the metabolism of 4-hydroxycinnamic acid and is a precursor for the formation of methylthioadenosine. It has been shown to stimulate the growth of human epidermal cells and increase colony-stimulating factor production. 2,5-Dihydroxycinnamic acid also has been found to have cytotoxic effects on HL-60 cells, as well as inhibitory effects on human serum. The detection sensitivity for this compound is 0.1 mg/L, which can be achieved using liquid chromatography with UV detection. 2,5-Dihydroxycinnamic acid can be prepared by hydrolysis of dimethylthiourea with alkaline or acidic conditions at room temperature or 37 degrees Celsius. This compound has pharmacokinetic properties that are similar to those of 4-hydroxycinnamic acid and is believed to act similarly by inhibiting protein
