• Synonyms: (2E)-3-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)acrylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,4-Dimethylcinnamic acid is a plant-derived compound that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. It inhibits the production of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase activity and reducing the production of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. 3,4-Dimethylcinnamic acid also blocks the synthesis of leukotrienes and thromboxanes, which are involved in inflammation as well as allergic reactions and asthma. 3,4-Dimethylcinnamic acid is used to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, or dermatitis. This compound can be obtained from plants like Dracaena fragrans (also known as Madagascar dragon tree) or ethnomedicine sources such as the African shrub Anthranilic acid. 3,4-Dimethylcinnamic acid can be synthesized by cross coupling with alkyl halides, ultraviolet irradiation of anthranils with uv
