Product Information

• Name: 4-Hydroxycinnamaldehyde
• Synonyms: 3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)acrylaldehydep-Coumaraldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Hydroxycinnamaldehyde (4HC) is a biofuel that is used as a precursor to 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, which is a precursor to the anti-inflammatory drug phenylbutazone. 4HC has been shown to inhibit prostate cancer cell growth by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. It has also been shown to be an effective inhibitor of glycoside derivatives that are responsible for autoimmune diseases. In addition, it has been shown to increase mitochondrial membrane potential and decrease reactive oxygen species production in rat liver mitochondria. The acetate extract of peels from citrus fruits show enzyme activities that are similar to those of 4HC, but at lower concentrations than 4HC.
