“…Previously, attention has been focused on phenolic acids mainly owing to their in vitro (20,(48)(49)(50)(51)(52) and in vivo (27,(53)(54)(55)(56) antioxidant activity. Also, the main phenolic acids from barley (ferulic, p-coumaric and vanillic acids) have been mentioned as potent antioxidants in beer (51,(57)(58)(59).…”

Anticholinesterase activities of mashes produced using wheat ('Wheat Pale') or barley malts ('Pilsner', 'Pale Ale', 'Munich Light', 'Carahell' or 'Carared') were studied by spectrophotometric method. The highest inhibition of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase was observed at 52 C and/or 64 C, followed by a decrease or stabilization of the activity at 72 C. Changes in the total phenolics content in the test mashes were correlated with changes in the acetylcholinesterase and/or butyrylcholinesterase activities. Phenolic acids were singled out from phenolic compounds for more detailed studies owing to their simplicity and structural similarity to well-known cholinesterase inhibitors. The main phenolic acids in the test malts were ferulic, gallic, p-coumaric and vanillic acids followed by chlorogenic, caffeic, syringic, p-OH-benzoic, sinapic and protocatechuic acids. The anticholinesterase activities of the phenolic acids were studied using model standard solutions at concentrations similar to the maximal content of these compounds in the test mashes. Among the phenolic acids, p-coumaric acid had the largest share in the anticholinesterase activity, even though it was present in the test mashes at a significantly lower concentration (~0.38 mM L À1 ) than ferulic acid (~1.00 mM L À1 ). Sinapic acid and p-OH-benzoic acid (0.03 and 0.01 mM L À1 , respectively) were equally efficient inhibitors as ferulic acid at~1.00 mM L À1 . This preliminary study should be extended to other phenolic compounds from malt (wort) in the near future.

“…It has a capacity of antioxidation [1], excellent UV-absorbing, antitumor activity [2] [3], potential health benefits against cardiovascular problems, inflammatory diseases and cancer [4], which find a variety of applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries. The solubility of ferulic acid in either a hydrophobic or hydrophilic solvent is low and thus limits its application.…”

The use of immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica (Novozym  435) to catalyze ferulic acid of esterification was investigated in this study. The synthesis product was analyzed using HPLC. The results revealed that the major product was 2-ethylhexyl ferulate. Response surface methodology and 3-level-3-factor central composite rotatable design were adopted to evaluate the effects of synthesis variables, including reaction temperature (60˚C -80˚C), enzyme amount (500 -1500 PLU) and reaction time (8 -24 h) on the percentage molar conversion of 2-ethylhexyl ferulate. The results showed that reaction temperature and reaction time were the most important parameters on percentage molar conversion. Based on ridge max analysis, the optimum conditions for synthesis were: reaction time 23 h, reaction temperature 71˚C and enzyme amount 1422 PLU. The molar conversion of actual experimental values was 98% under optimal conditions.

“…FA has received great attention in oriental research where it has been used as an antioxidant in food additives in Japan (Itagaki et al, 2009) and especially in medical studies in China after being proven to be an effective component of medicinal herbs used by Chinese traditional medicine, such as Angelica sinensis, A. cimicifuga and A. heracleifolia lignsticum chuangxiong (Sakai et al, 1999). FA can be absorbed by the small intestine and excreted in the urine, where therapeutic efficacy is dependent on its physiological concentrations and pharmacokinetic properties, which include absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of metabolites (Choudhury et al, 1999).…”

Ferulic acid is a phenolic acid widely distributed in the plant kingdom. It presents a wide range of potential therapeutic effects useful in the treatments of cancer, diabetes, lung and cardiovascular diseases, as well as hepatic, neuro and photoprotective effects and antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. Overall, the pharmaceutical potential of ferulic acid can be attributed to its ability to scavenge free radicals. However, recent studies have revealed that ferulic acid presents pharmacological properties beyond those related to its antioxidant activity, such as the ability to competitively inhibit HMG-CoA reductase and activate glucokinase, contributing to reduce hypercholesterolemia and hyperglycemia, respectively. The present review addresses ferulic acid dietary sources, the pharmacokinetic profile, antioxidant action mechanisms and therapeutic effects in the treatment and prevention of various diseases, in order to provide a basis for understanding its mechanisms of action as well as its pharmaceutical potential.Uniterms: Ferulic acid/properties. Ferulic acid/antioxidant activity. Ferulic acid/dietary sources. Ferulic acid/therapeutic effects. Natural products. Pharmacognosy.O ácido ferúlico é um ácido fenólico amplamente distribuído no reino vegetal. Ele apresenta uma ampla gama de potenciais efeitos terapêuticos utéis no tratamento do câncer, diabetes, doenças pulmonares e cardiovasculares, bem como efeitos hepáticos, neuro e fotoprotetores, atividades antimicrobianas e antiinflamatórias. O potencial farmacêutico do ácido ferúlico pode ser atribuído à sua capacidade em sequestrar radicais livres. No entanto, estudos recentes revelaram que o ácido ferúlico apresenta propriedades farmacológicas, além da sua atividade antioxidante, como a capacidade de inibir competitivamente a HMG-CoA redutase e ativar a glucoquinase, contribuindo para reduzir a hipercolesterolemia e hiperglicemia, respectivamente. A presente revisão aborda as fontes dietéticas de ácido ferúlico, o perfil farmacocinético, os mecanismos de ação como antioxidante e efeitos terapêuticos no tratamento e prevenção de várias doenças, de modo a proporcionar uma base para a compreensão dos seus mecanismos de ação, bem como os seus potenciais farmacêuticos.Unitermos: Ácido ferúlico/propriedades.

INTRODUCTIONNatural antioxidants exhibit therapeutic potential for a variety of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases (Kayahara et al., 1999;Kim et al., 2003;Soobrattee et al., 2005) where free radicals play a key role in development (Prior et al., 1998). Recently there has been increased public and scientific interest in employing natural antioxidants instead of synthetic antioxidants, due to their potential adverse effects on health which may include carcinogenicity (Ito et al., 1983;Würtzen, 1990;Osawa et al., 1990).Antioxidants found in vegetables can ac...
