Chemical Structure

Function and Use

Main Functions

Neuroprotective Effects:

Ferulic acid can protect neurons by increasing neurotransmitters and reducing the accumulation of amyloid β-protein (Aβ), thereby preventing neuronal damage.

Anti-inflammatory Properties:

It exhibits significant anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production and release of inflammatory mediators such as interleukin (IL) and neuropeptide Y (NPY), effectively reducing inflammatory responses in the body.

Antioxidant Activity:

Ferulic acid is a powerful antioxidant that can scavenge free radicals, reduce cellular damage, and enhance the body's antioxidant defense system by promoting the production and activity of antioxidant enzymes. This helps to decrease oxidative stress in the body and reduce the risk of various chronic diseases.

Antidepressant Effects:

Depression is a mental disorder associated with neuroinflammation, and ferulic acid can reverse the activation of NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasomes, exerting its antidepressant effects.

Cardiovascular Benefits:

Ferulic acid can increase coronary blood flow and protect ischemic myocardium. It also has antiplatelet aggregation effects, inhibiting the release of 5-hydroxytryptamine from platelets and the generation of platelet thromboxane A2 (TXA2), while enhancing prostaglandin activity.

Applications

Pharmaceutical Industry:

Ferulic acid is a basic raw material for the production of drugs used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, leukopenia, and other conditions. It is found in medications such as Xinxuekang, Limai Capsule, and Taitai Oral Liquid.

Cosmetics and Skincare:

Ferulic acid is also used in cosmetics and skincare products due to its antioxidant and skin-protecting properties. It can help protect the skin from environmental damage, reduce signs of aging, and improve skin health.

Functional Foods:

Functional foods containing ferulic acid, such as rice bran and angelica dahuricae extract, have been developed to provide additional health benefits.
