Description
This product is a hydroxycinnamic acid and derivative of n-ocytl caffeate. n-Octyl caffeate exhibits antioxidative, anti-metastatic, anticancer chemotherapeutic, and chemopreventive activities. n-Octyl caffeate decreases lipid peroxidation, activity of xanthine oxidase, activation of JNK and ERK, and production of NO and iNOS in rat brain homogenate; it also prevents the LPS-induced drop in mean arterial pressure in aortic smooth muscle cells. In animal models of tumor metastasis, n-octyl caffeate decreases tumor nodules.
