3,4-Methylenedioxycinnamic acid

3,4-Methylenedioxycinnamic acid is an inhibitor of the 4-hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA ligase (4CL) with a Ki of 100 μM. 3,4-Methylenedioxycinnamic acid exhibits the Km value for the substrate ferulic acid of 4CL is 8.4 μM.3,4-Methylenedioxycinnamic acid increases the formation of soluble phenolics in particular of vanillic acid. 3,4-Methylenedioxycinnamic acid demonstrates larvicidal activity[1][2].
