Description

Ferulic acid methyl ester (Methyl ferulate) is a derivative of ferulic acid, isolated from Stemona tuberosa, with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties[1][2]. Ferulic acid methyl ester is a cell membrane and brain permeable compound, shows free radical scavenging ability, used in the research of neurodegenerative disorders[1]. Ferulic acid methyl ester inhibits COX-2 expression, blocks p-p38 and p-JNK in primary bone marrow derived-macrophages[2].


It is a white crystalline powder, soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and DMSO. It is derived from the leaves of Tetragononia tetragonoides (Pall.) O.kuntze, a member of the Aizoaceae family.


ChEBI: A cinnamate ester that is the methyl ester of ferulic acid. It has been isolated from Pisonia aculeata.

FERULIC ACID METHYL ESTER Use and Manufacturing

Ferulic acid is a hydroxycinnamic acid that is abundant in plants and originally derived from giant fennel (F. communis). This naturally-occurring phenolic has antioxidant activities that provide protection against inflammation and cancer. Ferulic acid methyl ester is a lipophilic derivative of ferulic acid, demonstrating increased ability to cross cell membranes. Ferulic acid methyl ester has less antioxidant capacity than ferulic acid in neuronal PC12 cells (IC50 = 74.7 μM for ferulic acid ethyl ester vs. 44.6 μM for ferulic acid, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging). Ferulic acid methyl ester, at 10-25 μg/ml, inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, blocks the expression of COX-2, and reduces nitric oxide generation from LPS-stimulated macrophages.


Ferulic Acid Methyl Ester is a derivative of Ferulic Acid (F308900), used as an antioxidant and food preservative. It has less antioxidant capacity than ferulic acid.
