Ethyl cinnamate

Ethyl cinnamate has antifungal, and vasorelaxant effects. Ethyl cinnamate can lead to the damage of cell membrane system and metabolic disorder through inducing lipid peroxidation via initiating ROS overproduction. Ethyl cinnamate can inhibit the tonic contractions induced by high K+ and phenylephrine (PE) in a concentration-dependent manner, with respective IC50 values of 0.30 mM and 0.38 mM. (In Vitro) :The inhibition on biomass increased as the exposure concentration increased. 1 mg/L Ethyl cinnamate was sufficient to reduce the total biomass of C. vulgaris. The 48-h and 72-h EC50 values were 2.07 mg/L (1.94-2.20) and 1.89 mg/L (1.82-1.97) . After 24 h of exposure to 2-4 mg/L Ethyl cinnamate, the photosynthesis of C. vulgaris almost ceased, manifesting in DФ (PSII) being close to zero. After 72 h of exposure to 4 mg/L Ethyl cinnamate, the Fv /Fm of C. vulgaris dropped to zero.
