3-(3-HYDROXYPHENYL)PROPIONIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Uses

3-Hydroxyphenylpropionic acid acts as a urinary metabolite of procyanidins in pigs. It also serves as an intermediate in the preparation of various synthetic organic products. Further, it is used in the preparation of 3-(3-hydroxy-phenyl)-propionic acid methyl ester.

Uses

3-Hydroxyphenylpropionic Acid was found as an urinary metabolite of Procyanidins in pigs. 3-Hydroxyphenylpropionic Acid is also an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic synthetic products .

Definition

ChEBI: A monocarboxylic acid that is propionic acid carrying a 3-hydroxyphenyl substituent at C-3.

Biochem/physiol Actions

3-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid is one of the major metabolites of ingested caffeic acid and of the phenolic degradation products of proanthocyanidins (the most abundant polyphenol present in chocolate) by the microflora in the colon. 3-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid is suspected to have antioxidants properties and is actively absorbed by the monocarboxylic acid transporter (MCT) in intestinal Caco-2 cell monolayers.
