Product Description
4-Hydroxybenzoic acid is a phenolic analogue of benzoic acid, which can inhibit most Gram-positive (Gram+) bacteria and some Gram-negative (Gram-) bacteria. Its IC50 is 160 μg/mL.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Microbial Metabolite; Bacteria (IC50 = 160 μg/mL); Endogenous Metabolite
ln Vitro
With IC50 concentrations of 100–170 and 160 μg/mL, respectively, trans-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (4–HBA) and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid are sensitive to most Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative bacteria. The antibacterial activity of 4-hydroxycinnamic acid and t4-HCA against 11 food pathogenic bacteria, 6 plant pathogenic bacteria, 2 yeasts, and 15 plant pathogenic fungi was assessed using the disc method. At 200–400 μg, these substances stop the majority of bacteria and yeast from growing. Nonetheless, the majority of Gram-positive bacteria are more susceptible to this inhibitory effect. The disk method indicates that 4-hydroxycinnamic acid exhibits greater antibacterial activity than t4-HCA against Staphylococcus aureus, Lactobacillus mesentericus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Candida albicans at a concentration of 50 μg. Nevertheless, no inhibitory effect on fungi was noted, even at concentrations as high as 1000 μg [1].
ln Vivo
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion: ...Groups of 4-8 rabbits were given 4-hydroxybenzoic acid at a dose of 100, 250, 500, 1000, or 1500 mg/kg bw by gavage every 3-7 days. Urine was collected continuously and analysed for metabolites. The total urinary recovery of the test material ranged from 84% to 104%. Glucuronic acid and sulfate conjugates were also detected in the urine, at 10-35% and 4-7%, respectively. The concentrations of all the metabolites returned to background values within 24 hr after dosing.
Metabolism / Metabolites: In rabbits, 96% of a single oral dose of 400 mg/kg bw 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde was excreted in the urine within 24 hr as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and its glycine, glucuronic acid, and sulfate conjugates. Metabolism in the rat of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and its methyl, ethyl and propyl esters resulted in the appearance in the urine first of free p-hydroxybenzoic acid, followed by the glucuronide and p-hydroxyhippuric acid, the concentration of which increased as that of the free p-hydroxybenzoic acid /decreased/.

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • 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
