| Description | 4-Vinylphenol is the metabolite of p-coumaric and ferulic acid by lactic acid bacteria in wine found in Hedyotis diffusa Willd. 4-Vinylphenol induces apoptosis in vivo. |
| In vitro | 4-Vinylphenol (100 µg/mL) significantly increases the expressions of caspase 3, likely sensitizing CSC-enriched MDAMB-231 cells to apoptosis. 4-Vinylphenol (50, 100 µg/mL) significantly suppresses cell proliferation in CSC-enriched MDA-MB-231 cells. 4-Vinylphenol (12.5-200 µg/mL) significantly reduces cell viability in parental MDA-MB-231 cells, and the IC50 value is 109 µg/mL. 4-Vinylphenol (0.15, 0.3 µg/mL) reduces sphere‑formation and vimentin expression on CSCs in breast cancer. 4-Vinylphenol significantly reduces ALDH1A1 expression by 50% in CSC-enriched MDA-MB-231 cells[1]. |
