Biological activity | (E)-Ferulic acid is an isomer of Ferulic acid, which is an aromatic compound and is abundant in plant cell walls. (E)-Ferulic acid causes phosphorylation of β-catenin, which leads to proteasome degradation, increases the expression of pro-apoptotic factor Bax and decreases the expression of pro-survivin. (E)-Ferulic acid can effectively remove reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibit lipid peroxidation. (E)-Ferulic acid exerts anti-proliferation and anti-migration effects in human lung cancer cell line H1299. |
