Product Information

• Name: Methyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate (MPP) is a plant hormone that has been shown to inhibit root formation in plants. MPP inhibits the production of exudates, which are substances secreted by plants that are involved in interactions with other organisms. This effect is mediated through its ability to inhibit the response pathway for root formation, which includes the synthesis of monosubstituted phenols and oligosaccharides. MPP also has a luminescent property, allowing it to be used as a molecular probe for studying this phenomenon. In addition, MPP can be used as an anti-inflammatory agent. This may be due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis by binding with RNA and DNA molecules in cells or because it inhibits the enzyme phospholipase A2, which is responsible for releasing arachidonic acid from cell membranes.
