Description

Methyl 3-(3',4'-dimethoxyphenyl)propenoate is a natural phenolic compound that is found in the plant, Sinapis alba. It has been shown to have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, inhibiting the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Methyl 3-(3',4'-dimethoxyphenyl)propenoate also inhibits the activity of acetylcholinesterase, which is an enzyme in the nervous system that breaks down acetylcholine. This inhibition leads to increased acetylcholine levels and may be responsible for its effectiveness in treating Alzheimer's disease. Methyl 3-(3',4'-dimethoxyphenyl)propenoate has also been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells by inducing apoptosis and by preventing DNA synthesis.
