Product Information

• Name: Phenylethyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Phenylethyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside is a phenolic compound that is found in plants such as Echinacea. Phenylethyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside has been shown to inhibit tumor cell proliferation by increasing the levels of enzyme catalysis and enzyme activity, and decreasing the levels of protocatechuic acid. This compound also inhibits fatty acid synthesis, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the production of 4-hydroxycinnamic acid via inhibition of the enzyme acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase. The cyanobacterial strain Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 was found to produce phenylethyl glucoside, an iridoid glucoside with high cytotoxic activity against human tumor cells.
