Description and Uses

Veratric acid (3,4-Dimethoxybenzoic acid) is an orally active phenolic compound derived from vegetables and fruits and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. It also acts as a protective agent against hypertension-associated cardiovascular remodeling. Veratric acid reduces upregulated COX-2 expression and levels of PGE2 and IL-6 after UVB irradiation. This compound could be reduced to veratrine aldehyde, and alcohol was performed with enzyme extracts from a wood-degrading basidiomycete, Polystictus (Trametes) versicolor[1].

3,4-Dimethoxybenzoic acid is a derivative of Protocatechuic Acid.3,4-Dimethoxybenzoic acid is a reagent used in the production of antimicrobial agents, antifeedants, and a variety of other biologically active compounds.
