Biological Activity
| Targets | Human Endogenous Metabolite |
| ln Vitro | 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol (2M4VP) phosphorylates MAPKs such p38, ERK1/2, and JNK and potently inhibits IκB degradation that leads to NF-κB p65 translocation into the nucleus[1]. LPS-induced hyper-acetylation of histone H3 (Lys9/Lys14) is inhibited by 2-methyl-4-vinylphenol (2M4VP)[1]. |
| Cell Assay |
Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: RAW264.7 cells. Tested Concentrations: 0-40 μM. Incubation Duration: 24 h. Experimental Results: Inhibited the over-expression of iNOS and COX-2 protein in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. |

| Additional Infomation |
2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol is a member of the class of phenols that is guaiacol in which the hydrogen para- to the hydroxy group is replaced by a vinyl group. It has a role as a pheromone, a flavouring agent and a plant metabolite. 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol has been reported in Angelica gigas, Humulus lupulus, and other organisms with data available. 4-Vinylguaiacol is a metabolite found in or produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO: 100 mg/mL (665.91 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (16.65 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.5 mg/mL (16.65 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (16.65 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
