Product Description
2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol (2M4VP) is a natural germination inhibitor (antagonist) with anti~inflammatory activity.
2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol, also known as 4-vinylguaiacol, is a phenol with the molecular formula C9H10O2 and a molecular weight of 150.17. It is a gut microbiota-derived active metabolite of ferulic acid and has been found in various organisms, including S. brachiariae. This compound has a powerful, spicy, apple, rum, and roasted peanut aroma and is reported to be found among the steam-distillable phenols from the alcoholic fermentation of cereal grains, especially corn.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Human Endogenous Metabolite
2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol targets diverse biological pathways as a phenolic compound. It is a metabolite of ferulic acid produced by gut microbiota and may exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities. As a phenol, it can interact with various enzymes and receptors involved in oxidative stress and inflammatory responses.
ln Vitro
2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol (2M4VP) phosphorylates MAPKs such p38, ERK1/2, and JNK and potently inhibits IκB degradation that leads to NF-κB p65 translocation into the nucleus[1]. LPS-induced hyper-acetylation of histone H3 (Lys9/Lys14) is inhibited by 2-methyl-4-vinylphenol (2M4VP)[1].
In vitro, 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol has demonstrated diverse biological activities, including antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. It is used in research to study the effects of phenolic compounds on cellular processes such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and microbial growth. The compound's potent aroma also makes it a subject of interest in flavor chemistry and food science.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol is a gut microbiota-derived metabolite of ferulic acid, a dietary phenolic compound found in grains and other plant foods. It is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and may exert systemic effects. Its presence in the body reflects the metabolic activity of gut microbiota on dietary polyphenols.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol typically measure its antioxidant activity using assays such as DPPH radical scavenging or ABTS assays. The compound's ability to scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation is assessed. It may also be used to study the activity of enzymes involved in phenol metabolism, such as phenol sulfotransferases or UDP-glucuronosyltransferases.
Cell Assay
Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: RAW264.7 cells.
Tested Concentrations: 0-40 μM.
Incubation Duration: 24 h.
Experimental Results: Inhibited the over-expression of iNOS and COX-2 protein in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells.
In vitro cell experiments with 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol involve treating cell lines with the compound to assess its effects on oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell viability. Cells such as macrophages or intestinal epithelial cells are cultured with varying concentrations of the compound, and markers of oxidative stress, cytokine production, and cell survival are measured.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol are not extensively documented. As a gut microbiota-derived metabolite, its production and systemic effects may be studied by administering ferulic acid or other precursors to animal models and measuring the levels of 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol and other metabolites in plasma, urine, or tissues using chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol are limited. As a small, lipophilic phenol, it is expected to be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. It is metabolized by conjugation reactions such as glucuronidation and sulfation and excreted in urine. The compound has a characteristic aroma and is volatile at elevated temperatures.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol are limited. As a phenolic compound, it may exhibit mild toxicity at high concentrations, but it is generally considered safe at the levels found in foods and as a natural metabolite. Comprehensive toxicological studies have not been performed. The compound is intended for research use only.

  • 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)
