2-METHOXYCINNAMIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Uses

(E)-3-(2-Methoxyphenyl)acrylic Acid is a noncompetitive inhibitor of tyrosinase.

Definition

ChEBI: (E)-2-methoxycinnamic acid is a member of the class of cinnamic acids that is trans-cinnamic acid carrying a methoxy substituent at position 2 on the benzene ring. It has a role as a Brassica napus metabolite and an EC 1.14.18.1 (tyrosinase) inhibitor. It is a member of cinnamic acids and a monomethoxybenzene. It is functionally related to a trans-cinnamic acid.
