Application

Sinapic acid can be used:
  • As a potent peroxynitrite (ONOO−) oxidant scavenger for the protection of the cellular constituents against peroxynitrite cytotoxic species.
  • In the synthesis of antioxidant hydroxycinnamic acid xylan esters via esterification reaction.
  • In the synthesis of pseudo-cinnamic derivatives effective against mycobacterium tuberculosis.

General description

Sinapic acid is an hydroxycinnamic acid derivative that occurs naturally in Brassicaceae species .

Sinapic acid is a phenylpropanoid derivative that acts as a radical scavenger with antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties.
