Description

4-Ethoxycinnamic acid is a phenolic compound that is found in many plants and fruits. It has been shown to have bioactivities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and anticancer activities. 4-Ethoxycinnamic acid has been shown to inhibit tyrosinase activity by interacting with the enzyme's active site. This inhibition reduces the production of melanin, which may be due to its ability to inhibit dopamine oxidation or the conversion of dopachrome into dopaquinone. 4-Ethoxycinnamic acid also inhibits prolyl hydroxylase activity, which can lead to increased collagen synthesis and reduced inflammation.
