Isoferulic Acid

• CAS: 537-73-5
• Catalog Number: ACM537735
• Category: Inhibitors
• Molecular Weight: 194.18
• Molecular Formula: C10H10O4
• Description: Isoferulic acid (3-Hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid) is a cinnamic acid derivative that has antidiabetic activity. Isoferulic acid binds to and activates α1-adrenergic receptors (IC50=1.4 µM) to enhance secretion of β-endorphin (EC50=52.2 nM) and increase glucose use. Isoferulic acid also has anti-influenza virus activities.
