4-Vinylphenol(CAT: I015108) is found in the medicinal herb Hedyotis diffusa Willd, as well as in wild rice. It can also be formed as a metabolite of p-coumaric and ferulic acid by lactic acid bacteria in wine. The compound has been studied for its potential effects on various biological processes. Research suggests that 4-Vinylphenol can induce apoptosis (programmed cell death), inhibit blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), and suppress the growth of invasive breast tumors in animal models. These findings highlight its potential as a bioactive compound with therapeutic applications.
