Synthesis and Bioactivity Evaluation of Cinnamic Acid Esters from Oxalis pes-caprace
Abstract
Synthesis of cinnamic acid esters 4a-c to 7 was achieved starting from appropriately substituted
benzaldehydes. While compound 4a-c to 7 was exhibited potent antioxidative activity in both the
NBT and DPPH-radical scavenging models among the synthesized cinnamic acid ester
derivatives. No ester derivative showed significant 5-Lox, Tyrosine inhibitory and Cytotoxic
activities in the present study.
