Antimicrobial activity of natural products from the flora of Northern Ontario, Canada.

Pharm. Biol. 53(6) , 800-6, (2015)

The number of multidrug resistant (MDR) microorganisms is increasing and the antimicrobial resistance expressed by these pathogens is generating a rising global health crisis. In fact, there are only a few antimicrobial agents left that can be used against MD...

A practical procedure for the large-scale preparation of methyl (2R,3S)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)glycidate, a key intermediate for diltiazem.

J. Org. Chem. 67(13) , 4599-601, (2002)

A practical synthesis of methyl (2R,3S)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)glycidate (-)-2, a key intermediate for diltiazem (1), was developed. Treatment of methyl (E)-4-methoxycinnamate 3 with chiral dioxirane, generated from chiral ketone 4, provided (-)-2 in 77% ee and 8...

Enzymatic synthesis of cinnamic acid derivatives.

Biotechnol. Lett. 28(8) , 581-5, (2006)

Using Novozym 435 as catalyst, the syntheses of ethyl ferulate (EF) from ferulic acid (4-hydroxy 3-methoxy cinnamic acid) and ethanol, and octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC) from p-methoxycinnamic acid and 2-ethyl hexanol were successfully carried out in this study...

The modulatory influence of p-methoxycinnamic acid, an active rice bran phenolic acid, against 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced lipid peroxidation, antioxidant status and aberrant crypt foci in rat colon carcinogenesis.

Chem. Biol. Interact. 196(1-2) , 11-22, (2012)

We investigated the chemopreventive effect of p-methoxycinnamic acid (p-MCA), an active phenolic acid of rice bran, turmeric, and Kaemperfia galanga against 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced rat colon carcinogenesis. Male albino Wistar rats were randomly divided ...

Induction of histone acetylation and growth regulation in eryrthroleukemia cells by 4-phenylbutyrate and structural analogs.

Anticancer Res. 19(3A) , 1971-6, (1999)

The objective of this investigation was to study the relationship between histone acetylation and growth inhibition by 4-phenylbutyrate and structural analogs. Inhibition of growth of DS19 mouse erythroleukemia cells and K562 human leukemic cells by 4-phenylb...

Oligosaccharide microscale analysis by circular dichroic spectroscopy: reference spectra for chromophoric D-fructofuranoside derivatives.

Carbohydr. Res. 239 , 11-33, (1993)

The microscale analytical method that is being developed in this group for the structure determination of oligosaccharides yields monosaccharide derivatives bearing two types of chromophores suitable for exciton-coupling, namely, 4-bromobenzoate (lambda max 2...

Insulin-secretagogue activity of p-methoxycinnamic acid in rats, perfused rat pancreas and pancreatic beta-cell line.

Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol. 102(5) , 476-82, (2008)

This study investigated the effect of p-methoxycinnamic acid (p-MCA) on plasma glucose and insulin concentrations in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. In both fasting and glucose-loading conditions, an oral administration of p-MCA (40-100 mg/kg...

Mechanisms of p-methoxycinnamic acid-induced increase in insulin secretion.

Horm. Metab. Res. 43(11) , 766-73, (2011)

p-Methoxycinnamic acid (p-MCA) is a cinnamic acid derivative that shows various pharmacologic actions such as hepatoprotective and antihyperglycemic activities. The present study was to elucidate the mechanisms by which p-MCA increases [Ca²⁺]i and insulin sec...
