| Targets |
3,4-Methylenedioxycinnamic acid targets Human Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1), an enzyme involved in DNA replication and repair. It also targets the phenylpropanoid enzyme 4-hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA ligase. Its inhibition of FEN1 suggests potential applications in cancer research, as FEN1 is a target for anticancer therapy. Its antiviral activity against Influenza A virus indicates it may interact with viral components, though specific mechanisms are not detailed.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, 3,4-Methylenedioxycinnamic acid is a potent inhibitor of FEN1 with a potency of 31622.8 nM. It also exhibits antiviral activity against Influenza A virus (H1N1), with EC₅₀ and IC₅₀ values greater than 100,000 nM. The compound has potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Specific cellular assay data, such as effects on cell viability or viral replication, are not detailed.
|
| ln Vivo |
Specific in vivo activity data for 3,4-Methylenedioxycinnamic acid are not provided in the available sources. The compound's potential therapeutic applications in treating conditions like cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases have been suggested, but no in vivo studies are described.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A cell-free assay for 3,4-Methylenedioxycinnamic acid would involve measuring its inhibition of FEN1 enzymatic activity. In such assays, the enzyme is incubated with a DNA substrate and the compound, and the rate of DNA cleavage is measured. The compound's potency is 31622.8 nM. Its antiviral activity could be assessed in cell-based assays rather than cell-free systems.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for 3,4-Methylenedioxycinnamic acid would typically involve evaluating its effects on cancer cell lines or virus-infected cells. For FEN1 inhibition, effects on DNA repair and cell proliferation could be assessed. For antiviral activity, inhibition of viral replication in infected cells could be measured. Specific protocols are not detailed in the available sources.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1 mg/mL (5.20 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 10.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

| 10 mM | 0.5204 mL | 2.6019 mL | 5.2037 mL |
*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
