Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ferulic Acid is a fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) inhibitor that has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Ferulic acid increased monoamine neurotransmitter levels in the brain regions that are relative to mood disorders: the hippocampus and frontal cortex. The increased tend to serotonin and norepinephrine was also found in the hypothalamus after higher dose of ferulic acid treatment. Monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) activity was inhibited in the frontal cortex and hippocampus when treatment with 40 and 80 mg/kg ferulic acid; while MAO-B activity did not change significantly. Ferulic acid provides neuroprotective effects against a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)-induced cerebral ischemia.

Biological target:

Ferulic acid is a novel fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) inhibitor with IC50s of 3.78 and 12.5 μM for FGFR1 and FGFR2, respectively.

In vitro activity:

The cell apoptosis rate and inflammatory cytokine release were examined using flow cytometry and RT-qPCR, respectively, to investigate the protective effect of FA (ferulic acid) on LPS-induced inflammatory injury in BMECs. As shown in Figure 2A, LPS-induced apoptosis of BMECs was obviously inhibited by FA in a dose-dependent manner. Reference: Vet Res. 2021; 52: 104. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8278735/

In vivo activity:

Compared with the NASH group, the liver coefficient of the NASH + FA group was significantly reduced (P < 0.05). 20 mg/kg of FA (ferulic acid) significantly reduced the activity of ALT and AST in the serum of the HCHF-induced NASH rats (Fig. 1D and E). These results indicate that 20 mg/kg FA reduced early liver damage caused by the HCHF diet without significantly affecting body weight.
