J X Pan et al.
Free radical research, 30(3), 241-245 (2000-03-11)
The electron transfer reactions between the trichloromethylperoxyl radical (Cl3COO*) and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, including chlorogenic acid, sinapic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid and 3,4-(methylenedioxy)cinnamic acid, have been studied by pulse radiolysis. The hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, especially sinapic acid, are identified
Rogério Barbosa Lima et al.
PloS one, 8(12), e80542-e80542 (2013-12-07)
Cinnamic acid and its hydroxylated derivatives (p-coumaric, caffeic, ferulic and sinapic acids) are known allelochemicals that affect the seed germination and root growth of many plant species. Recent studies have indicated that the reduction of root growth by these allelochemicals
