The microscale analytical method that is being developed in this group for the structure determination of oligosaccharides yields monosaccharide derivatives bearing two types of chromophores suitable for exciton-coupling, namely, 4-bromobenzoate (lambda max 245 nm) and 4-methoxycinnamate (lambda max 311 nm).

We investigated the chemopreventive effect of p-methoxycinnamic acid (p-MCA), an active phenolic acid of rice bran, turmeric, and Kaemperfia galanga against 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced rat colon carcinogenesis. Male albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups. Group 1 consisted of control
