Common Namem-Coumaric acid
DescriptionM-Coumaric acid, also known as 3-coumarate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxycinnamic acids. Hydroxycinnamic acids are compounds containing an cinnamic acid where the benzene ring is hydroxylated. M-Coumaric acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. M-Coumaric acid (CAS: 588-30-7) Is a polyphenol metabolite from caffeic acid, formed by the gut microflora. Outside of the human body, m-Coumaric acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as olives, corns, and beers. M-Coumaric acid has also been detected, but not quantified in several different foods, such as carrots, strawberries, grape wines, garden tomato, and bilberries. MCT-mediated absorption of phenolic compounds per se and their colonic metabolites would exert a significant impact on human health (PMID: 16870009 , 15479001 , 15479001 ). M-Coumaric acid is transported by the monocarboxylic acid transporter (MCT). The amount of this compound in human biofluids is diet-dependant. M-Coumaric acid is detected after the consumption of whole grain.
