Application Notes

Methyl cis-ferulate was isolated from the rust fungus, Puccinia graminis var. tritici, by Allen and colleagues, University of Wisconsin, USA. Methyl cis-ferulate acts as a self-inhibitor of uredospore germination in this pathogen. Methyl cis-ferulate reversibly inhibits the digestion of cell wall pore plugs, an essential step in germination. The trans isomer, methyl trans-ferulate, was inactive in this germination model. Methyl cis-ferulate has also been isolated from rice bran oil released by alkaline hydrolysis, and demonstrates mild activity in a radical scavenging assay.
