What is Methyl p-coumarate?
Description
Methyl 4-hydroxycinnamate is an atifungal agent and a cinnamic acid derivative used in structure-antifungal activity relationship studies against Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus terreus, and Aspergillus niger.
Occurrence
Methyl 4-hydroxycinnamate isolated from the herbs of Piper longum, Alpinia blepharocalyx, and Grevillea robusta.
The Uses of Methyl p-coumarate
3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoic Acid Methyl Ester is used in the synthesis of AB3 and constitutional isomeric AB2 phenylpropyl ether-based supramolecular dendrimers. Also used in the synthesis of potent antagonists of leukotrines.
Definition
ChEBI: 4-coumaric acid methyl ester is a cinnamate ester that is the methyl ester of 4-coumaric acid. It has a role as a melanin synthesis inhibitor, a fungal metabolite, an anti-inflammatory agent, an antifungal agent and a plant metabolite. It is a cinnamate ester, a member of phenols and a methyl ester. It derives from a 4-coumaric acid.
