3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid powder Chemical Base Information

3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid powder 99-50-3 General Description

Powder 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid also well known as Protocatechuic acid (PCA), it is a dihydroxybenzoic acid in which the hydroxy groups are located at positions 3 and 4. It has a role as a human xenobiotic metabolite, a plant metabolite, an antineoplastic agent, an EC 1.1.1.25 (shikimate dehydrogenase) inhibitor and an EC 1.14.11.2 (procollagen-proline dioxygenase) inhibitor. It is a member of catechols and a dihydroxybenzoic acid. It derives from a benzoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate.

3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid powder 99-50-3 Mechanism Of Action

3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid has been reported to induce apoptosis of human leukemia cells, as well as malignant HSG1 cells taken from human oral cavities,but 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid was found to have mixed effects on TPA-induced mouse skin tumours. Depending on the amount of PCA and the time before application, PCA could reduce or enhance tumour growth. Similarly, 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid was reported to increase proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of neural stem cells. In an in vitro model using HL-60 leukemia cells, protocatechuic acid showed an antigenotoxic effect and tumoricidal activity.In two preclinical investigations, protocatechuic acid from Hibiscus sabdariffa showed an excellent ability to effectively inhibit the replication of herpes simplex virus type 2 and to potently deactivate the catalytic activity of urease.

What Is 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid powder Use For?

3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid powder is use to make the dietary supplements for body health. 17 benefits of of 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid are:

1. Strong antioxidant

3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is considered as an active component of some traditional Chinese herbal medicines such as Cibotium barometz (L.)  J.S, Stenoloma chusanum (L.) Ching, Ilex chinensis Sims. Fruits of Ficus species are rich source of polyphenolic compounds and flavanoids which are responsible for strong antioxidant properties that help in prevention and therapy of various oxidative stress related diseases such as neurodegenerative and hepatic diseases. Acai oil, obtained from the fruit of the Acaí palm (Euterpe oleracea) [20], is rich in protocatechuic acid (630  36 mg/kg). Acai oil has a relatively high content of polyphenols, which in turn has been linked to a range of reported (mostly in vitro) antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and cardioprotective properties. PCA also occurs in rich quantity in various multiple fruits such as berries (raspberry, blueberry, mulberry, strawberry, cranberry, and gooseberry). It is also known to occur in Loquat fruit, wine, honey, and soybean.

2. Resist onion smudge

3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid occurs in pigmented onion scales Allium cepa  which enables them resist onion smudge, a fungal disease due to Colletotrichum circinans.

3. Good chemopreventive properties

3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is also found in Carrot (Daucus carota) and in mushrooms such as Agaricus bisporus (White Button Mushroom) or Phellinus linteus and has shown good chemopreventive properties.

4. Antibacterial Activity

Roselle calyx (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) extract and protocatechuic acid were both found to decrease lipid oxidation levels in ground beef tissue. Protocatechuic acid also exhibited dose-dependent effect.

5. Antidiabetic Activity

Protocatechuic acid at 1% and 2% when given to d-galactose treated mice for 8 weeks decreased reactive oxygen species levels, protein carbonyl, carboxymethyllysine, pentosidine, sorbitol, fructose, and methylglyoxal.

6. Anticancer Activity

PCA seems to have chemopreventive potential because it inhibits the in vitro chemical carcinogenesis and exerts proapoptotic and antiproliferative effects in different tissues

7. Antiulcer Activity

The mechanism of action of PCA ethyl ester may be due to either cytoprotective action of the drug or by strengthening the gastric mucosa thereby enhancing mucosal defense. Similarly protocatechuic acid may also possess a certain level of antiulcer properties.

8. Antiageing Activity

Protocatechuic acid derived from the dried fruits of Alpinia oxyphylla has proved to be a potential antiageing compound on spleen and liver antioxidant system in aged rats.

9. Antifibrotic Activity

Studies have shown protocatechuic aldehyde to possess beneficial antifibrogenic effects. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and connective transforming growth factor (CTGF) are associated with the pathophysiology of liver fibrosis.

10. Other benefits

Hibiscus protocatechuic acid (PCA) is a simple phenolic compound isolated from the dried flowers of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. , a Chinese herbal medicine, which is reported to be:

antiseptic

aphrodisiac

astringent

cholagogue

demulcent

digestive

diuretic

emollient

purgative

refrigerant

resolvent

sedative

stomachic

and tonic

Also this is a folk remedy for abscesses, bilious conditions, cancer, cough, debility, dyspepsia, dysuria, fever, hangover, heart ailments, hypertension , neurosis, scurvy, and strangury.

11. Antiviral Activity
12. Anti-Inflammatory, Analgesic, and Antiseptic Properties
13. Antiatherosclerotic and Hyperlipidemic Activities
14. Cardiac Activity
15. Hepatoprotective Activity
16. Neurological Effects
17. Effects on Reproductive System

3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid powder 99-50-3 More research

Protocatechuic acid, also known as protocatechuate or 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives. Hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives are compounds containing a hydroxybenzoic acid (or a derivative), which is a benzene ring bearing a carboxyl and a hydroxyl groups. The enzyme protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase uses 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate and O2 to produce 3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconate. Protocatechuic acid is a drug. In the analogous hardening of the cockroach ootheca, the phenolic substance concerned is protocatechuic acid. Protocatechuic acid is a mild, balsamic, and phenolic tasting compound. Outside of the human body, protocatechuic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration in a few different foods, such as garden onions, cocoa powders, and star anises and in a lower concentration in lentils, liquors, and red raspberries. Protocatechuic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in several different foods, such as cloud ear fungus, american pokeweeds, common mushrooms, fruits, and feijoa. This could make protocatechuic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. It is also found in Allium cepa (17,540 ppm). It is a major metabolite of antioxidant polyphenols found in green tea. Similarly, PCA was reported to increase proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of neural stem cells. In vitro testing documented antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of PCA, while liver protection in vivo was measured by chemical markers and histological assessment.
