Product Description
p-Coumaryl alcohol is an antioxidant extracted from Alpinia officinarum Hance. p-Coumaryl alcohol has an inhibitory effect on the autoxidation of methyl linoleate.
p-Coumaryl alcohol (p-Hydroxycinnamyl alcohol) is a natural antioxidant, monolignol, and endogenous metabolite with potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It has the molecular formula C₉H₁₀O₂ and a molecular weight of 150.17 g/mol. It can be isolated from Alpinia officinarum Hance and has an inhibitory effect during the autoxidation of methyl linoleate. It is a lignin monomer (monolignol) involved in plant cell wall biosynthesis. p-Coumaryl alcohol is the simplest lignin precursor.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The molecular targets of p-Coumaryl alcohol include oxidative stress pathways and inflammatory mediators. The compound's antioxidant activity involves inhibition of lipid peroxidation, as demonstrated by its inhibitory effect on methyl linoleate autoxidation. As a monolignol, it is a substrate for enzymes involved in lignin biosynthesis, such as peroxidases and laccases. Its anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through modulation of inflammatory pathways.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies demonstrate that p-Coumaryl alcohol has antioxidant activity by inhibiting the autoxidation of methyl linoleate. The compound's antioxidant properties have been characterized through various assays. As a monolignol, it participates in oxidative coupling reactions in lignin biosynthesis. Its anti-inflammatory effects have also been noted. These in vitro activities support its potential for oxidative stress and inflammation research.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies of p-Coumaryl alcohol have shown that it has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. As an endogenous metabolite, it is naturally present in the body and may contribute to physiological antioxidant defenses. Its inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation suggests potential benefits in models of oxidative stress. However, specific in vivo efficacy data are not detailed in the available literature.
Enzyme Assay
Typical in vitro assays for p-Coumaryl alcohol include antioxidant assays such as the methyl linoleate autoxidation inhibition assay. The compound is incubated with methyl linoleate, and the extent of oxidation is measured by monitoring conjugated diene formation or peroxide value. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays are also used. For lignin biosynthesis studies, the compound is used as a substrate for peroxidase or laccase assays, and the formation of oligolignols is monitored by HPLC or UV-Vis spectroscopy.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for p-Coumaryl alcohol typically involve treating cultured cells (macrophages, endothelial cells) with the compound at concentrations ranging from 1-100 µM for 24-48 hours. Inflammatory markers such as NO, TNF-α, and IL-6 are measured by ELISA or Griess assay. ROS levels are measured using fluorescent probes. Cell viability is assessed by MTT assay. For antioxidant studies, cells are exposed to oxidative stress inducers, and protective effects are assessed.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for p-Coumaryl alcohol are not detailed in the available literature. For anti-inflammatory studies, typical animal models include carrageenan-induced paw edema or LPS-induced systemic inflammation. The compound is administered orally or intraperitoneally at doses ranging from 10-100 mg/kg. Inflammatory markers and oxidative stress markers in tissues are assessed. For antioxidant studies, models of oxidative stress are used.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for p-Coumaryl alcohol are limited. As a small phenolic compound with a molecular weight of 150.17 g/mol, it would be expected to have good oral bioavailability. The compound is an endogenous metabolite and is naturally present in the body. It is likely absorbed and metabolized by conjugation reactions (glucuronidation, sulfation). However, detailed PK parameters are not available in the consulted sources.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for p-Coumaryl alcohol are limited. As a naturally occurring endogenous metabolite and antioxidant, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. The compound is a lignin monomer and is present in many plants. No significant toxicity has been reported. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound.
