catechuic acid

Catechin (Cianidanol) is a flavan-3-ol, a type of natural phenol and antioxidant.

Protocatechuic acid (3, 4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid) (3, 4-dihydroxybenzoic acid) is a natural phenolic compound found in many edible and medicinal plants. Recent studies indicate that it could be used as a protective agent against cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms. The mechanism of its action is mostly associated with antioxidant activity, including inhibition of generation as well as scavenging of free radicals and up-regulating enzymes which participate in their neutralization.

Pyrocatechuic acid (Catecholcarboxylic acid), a normal human benzoic acid metabolite found in plasma, has increased levels after aspirin ingestion.

Protocatechuic acid 4-O-beta-glucoside is a natural product that can be used as a reference standard. The CAS number of Protocatechuic acid 4-O-beta-glucoside is 7361-59-3.

(-)-Catechin ((-)-Cianidanol), an isomer of catechin, inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) with an IC50 of 1.4 μM.

(±)-Catechin ((±)-Catechin hydrate) hydrate is a natural product,has antioxidant activity and is effective in reducing oxidative stress.
