    Product Description

    2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol is a phenol that has been found in S. brachiariae and has diverse biological activities.1,2 It is also a gut microbiota-derived active metabolite of the phenol ferulic acid (Item No. 19871).1 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol inhibits α-glucosidase, α-amylase, and tyrosinase (Kis = 47.7, 189, and 40.3 µg/ml, respectively).2 It induces cell cycle arrest at the S and G2/M phases and apoptosis in HT-29 colorectal cancer cells when used at a concentration of 1 mM.1 Formulations containing 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol have been used as flavoring agents.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
