Product Description
3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid is a phenylpropanoid compound extracted from Polygala polygala. It has anti-stress effects and can prolong the sleep time of animals. 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid can enhance GAD65 and GABAA receptor γ subunits, but has no effect on α and β subunits.
3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid (CAS: 90-50-6) is a chemical intermediate used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, including the vasodilator cinepazide. With a molecular formula of C12H14O5 and a molecular weight of 238.24 g/mol, it is also used to improve the adhesion between organic and inorganic materials. It demonstrates antioxidant activity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid is a chemical intermediate and does not have a specific pharmacological target. Its primary use is in organic synthesis. It has been detected to inhibit lipid peroxidation in rat brain homogenates, indicating antioxidant activity. Its antioxidant properties are likely due to the presence of the methoxy groups.
ln Vitro
3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid (10 μg/mL) enhances the expression of the γ-subunits that GAD65 and GABAA receive, but has no impact on the quantities of the α- and β-subunits [2].
In vitro, 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid demonstrates antioxidant activity. It inhibits lipid peroxidation in rat brain homogenates. Its antioxidant activity is likely due to its ability to scavenge free radicals. It is not typically used in cell-based assays as a bioactive compound, but rather as a chemical intermediate.
ln Vivo
The sedative action of 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid (25–100 mg/kg, ip) can extend the duration of sleep [1]. The exercise ability of individuals was dramatically lowered by 10, mg/kg of 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid [2].
In vivo, 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid is not used as a therapeutic agent. Its primary application is as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other compounds. Any in vivo activity would be related to the drugs synthesized from it, such as cinepazide, a vasodilator.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro antioxidant assay for 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid involves measuring its ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation. Rat brain homogenates are incubated with the compound and a lipid peroxidation inducer, such as Fe2+ or ascorbate. The production of malondialdehyde (MDA), a marker of lipid peroxidation, is measured using the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell culture studies are not typically performed with 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid, as it is a chemical intermediate. However, its antioxidant activity could be studied in cell-based models of oxidative stress. Its effects on cell viability and ROS production could be assessed.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid are not common. However, its antioxidant activity could be studied in animal models of oxidative stress. The compound would be administered, and markers of oxidative stress in tissues would be measured.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid has a molecular formula of C12H14O5 and a molecular weight of 238.24 g/mol. It is a white to cream fine crystalline powder. It is soluble in organic solvents like DMSO and ethanol. It is typically stored at 2-8°C for long-term stability. Its stability is maintained under recommended storage conditions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid are limited, as it is a chemical intermediate. It may be a skin and eye irritant. As a research compound, it is not intended for human therapeutic use, and comprehensive toxicity studies are not available. Standard safety precautions should be followed.

  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
