Application Notes

Isoferulic acid is a common plant metabolite found in many grains, biosynthetically formed by degradation of lignin and lignocellulose. Isoferulic acid is a member of the phenylpropanoid class of lignin biosynthetic precursors. The biochemical and pharmacological activity of cinnamic acids is well reviewed by Guzman (2014) and Sharma (2011). Isoferulic acid is a useful standard for analytical and bioassay dereplication as a metabolite commonly encountered in microbial fermentations.
