Product Information

• Name: trans-3-(4-Methylbenzoyl)acrylic acid

Description

The compound trans-3-(4-methylbenzoyl)acrylic acid is a potent and selective inhibitor of serine/threonine protein kinase. It has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of eosinophils in vitro, as well as to suppress the release of leukotrienes from human mast cells. The mechanism of action is by inhibiting phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C, which leads to the inhibition of protein kinase C. This inhibition prevents the phosphorylation of various proteins, including cytoskeletal proteins that are required for cell division.
