This study reports the 24 h human plasma pharmacokinetics of 3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid (dimethoxycinnamic acid) after consumption of coffee, and the membrane transport characteristics of certain dimethoxycinnamic acid derivatives, as present in coffee. Eight healthy human volunteers consumed a low-polyphenol diet

A method based on the formation of pi-complexes with chlorogenate-like species was proposed for the determination of caffeine in regular (nondecaffeinated) and decaffeinated coffee. Both caffeate and 3,4-dimethoxycinnamate were able to transform caffeine--a neutral species in aqueous solutions--into an anionic

Six compounds were isolated from Veronicastrum sibiricum and identified as D-mannitol, beta-sitosterol, daucosterine, 3-0-acetyloleanolic acid, 3, 4-dimethoxy cinnamic acid and isoferulic acid. Pharmacological experiment has shown that isoferulic acid is anti-inflammatory and analgesic; 3-0-acetyloleanolic acid is anti-inflammatory; mannitol is analgesic

The effects of 3-hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid (3H4MCA) and 3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid (3,4DMCA) on body weight, organ weight, and the contents of putrescine, spermidine and spermine in 15 different tissues were examined in rats that had been given these compounds for 5 days.
