1. Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals
Anti-inflammatory & Antioxidant Agent:
3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid CAS 501-97-3 used in formulations targeting oxidative stress (e.g., neurodegenerative diseases, aging).
Precursor for drugs like fenbufen (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, NSAID).
Antimicrobial Activity: Studied for its effects against pathogenic bacteria.
Hormone Modulation: Metabolite of gut microbiota, linked to estrogen metabolism.
2. Cosmetics & Skincare
Anti-Aging & UV Protection:
Scavenges free radicals in creams/serums.
Stabilizes formulations prone to oxidation.
Skin Whitening: Inhibits tyrosinase, reducing melanin production.
3. Food & Beverage Industry
Natural Preservative: Extends shelf life in dairy, fermented foods, and plant-based products.
Prebiotic: Promotes growth of beneficial gut bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus).
4. Chemical Synthesis
Building Block: 3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid CAS 501-97-3 used to synthesize:
Biodegradable polymers (e.g., polyesters for medical devices).
Liquid crystals and flavors/fragrances.
5. Research & Biotechnology
Biomarker: Detected in urine/plasma to study dietary polyphenol metabolism.
Enzyme Studies: Substrate for studying decarboxylases and hydroxylases.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
1. Temperature: Store at 2–8°C (36–46°F) for long-term stability (refrigeration recommended).
2. Short-term storage at room temperature (≤25°C) is acceptable if used quickly.
3. Humidity: Keep in a dry environment (moisture-sensitive; use desiccants if needed).
4. Light Protection: 3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid CAS 501-97-3 use amber glass bottles or opaque containers to prevent photo-oxidation.
