Bioactivity | 3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)propanoic acid is an orally active short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). 3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)propanoic acid stimulates γ globin gene expression, erythropoiesis in vivo and is used for the β hemoglobinopathies and other anemias[1]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | 3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)propanoic acid (50, 150 mg/kg of iv or 50, 150, 200 mg/kg of orally) achieves concentrations significantly higher than targeted plasma levels for several hours after single 50 to 150 mg/kg doses[1]. | ||||||||||||
