Ordering Information

Biological Activity

3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid is a natural constituent of Polygalae Radix that acts as a central nervous system modulator targeting the GABAA/benzodiazepine receptor complex. By interacting with GABAA receptors, this compound enhances GABAergic neurotransmission to attenuate neuronal hyperexcitability. This signaling pathway modulation contributes to downstream neuroprotective, anti-seizure, and sedative phenotypes, highlighting its role as an active neuropharmacological agent. [1]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
