Use | methyl 4-hydroxycinnamate, also known as methyl p-hydroxycinnamate, is a chemical intermediate. |
biological activity | (E)-Methyl 4-coumarate is found in several plants, such as Allium cepa or noni (Morinda citrifolia L.) middle lobe. (E)-Methyl 4-coumarate in combination with Carnosic Acid induces apoptosis and kills acute myeloid leukemia cells, but does not kill normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells. (E)-methyl4-coumarate has antioxidant and antibacterial activity. |
