General description

2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol is one of the key volatile aroma compounds of buckwheat and okra.

Application


  • Anti-Ulcerative Colitis Effects and Active Ingredients in Ethyl Acetate Extract from Decoction of Sargentodoxa cuneata.: This research explores the therapeutic potential of Sargentodoxa cuneata in treating ulcerative colitis, highlighting 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol as one of its active ingredients. It offers valuable data for chemists working on new treatments for inflammatory diseases (Yu et al., 2023).

  • Phytochemical characterization, anti-diarrhoeal, analgesic, anti-inflammatory activities and toxicity profile of Ananas comosus (L.) Merr (pineapple) leaf in albino rats.: This comprehensive study assesses the medicinal properties of pineapple leaf, identifying 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol among its phytochemicals. It supports further research into its use for pain relief and anti-inflammatory purposes (Ugbogu et al., 2024).

A ferulic acid decarboxylase enzyme which catalyzes the decarboxylation of ferulic acid to 4-hydroxy-3-methoxystyrene was purified from Pseudomonas fluorescens UI 670. The enzyme requires no cofactors and contains no prosthetic groups. Gel filtration estimated an apparent molecular mass of 40.4

Ferulic acid decarboxylase (FADase) can catalyze the transformation of ferulic acid into 4-vinyl guaiacol via decarboxylation in microorganisms. In this study, a gene encoding FADase was first isolated from the bacterium Enterobacter sp. Px6-4 using degenerate primers and a genome

A new strain Bacillus coagulans BK07 was isolated from decomposed wood-bark, based on its ability to grow on ferulic acid as a sole carbon source. This strain rapidly decarboxylated ferulic acid to 4-vinylguaiacol, which was immediately converted to vanillin and
