Description

3-Hydroxycinnamic acid is a natural compound that belongs to the group of caffeic acids. It is found in many plants, including coffee beans and tea leaves. 3-Hydroxycinnamic acid has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and HL-60 cells by inhibiting mitochondrial membrane potential. This compound also inhibits the activity of 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (4HPA) hydroxylase, which converts phenylalanine into tyrosine and 4HPA, an intermediate in the synthesis of melanin. 3-Hydroxycinnamic acid can be used as a model system for studying caffeic acids in vitro. Structural analysis has demonstrated that 3-hydroxycinnamic acid contains nitrogen atoms, which may be essential for its anti-inflammatory activities.
