General description

α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid is the commonly used matrix for analyzing peptides by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. It inhibits the monophenolase activity and diphenolase activity of mushroom tyrosinase.

Application

α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHC) was used in encapsulation of CHC into NaY zeolite. It was used as matrix to investigate the activity of the paclitaxel derivatives using several well-established in vitro angiogenesis assays.

D(4)-α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (D(4)-CHCA) has been synthesized for use as a matrix for matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) and MALDI-MS imaging (MSI) of small molecule drugs and endogenous compounds. MALDI-MS analysis of small molecules has historically been hindered by interference
