Product Information

• Name: 4-Phenylcinnamic acid
• Synonyms: 3-(Biphenyl-4-yl)acrylic acid3-(Biphenyl-4-yl)prop-2-enoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Phenylcinnamic acid is a prenylated aromatic compound that is used as a chromatographic stationary phase. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of tyrosinase and thus may be used for the treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders such as melasma. 4-Phenylcinnamic acid interacts with piperidine and inhibits its activity, which may lead to new drug development. Molecular modelling of 4-phenylcinnamic acid has shown that it is possible to introduce functional groups into the molecule, making it more reactive. The introduction of biphenyl derivatives may improve the lipophilicity of this molecule.
