Phenethyl ferulate（Cat No.:R002166）is an ester formed from ferulic acid and 2-phenylethanol, combining antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. As a derivative of ferulic acid—a natural phenolic compound—phenethyl ferulate exhibits enhanced lipophilicity, improving its membrane permeability and bioavailability. It is studied for its potential in skin care formulations, cancer chemoprevention, and neuroprotection due to its ability to scavenge free radicals and modulate signaling pathways. Additionally, phenethyl ferulate is explored in functional food and nutraceutical research as a bioactive compound with promising therapeutic and protective effects.
