Trans-2,3,4-Trimethoxycinnamic acid

SKU: orb1680093

Description

Trans-2,3,4-Trimethoxycinnamic acid is a natural cinnamic acid derivative that acts as a competitive antagonist of the 3-oxo-C8-HSL quorum-sensing signal, inhibiting its binding to the TraR receptor. This mechanism underlies its demonstrated antibiofilm and antitoxic activities against Escherichia coli in vitro, making it a valuable tool for studying bacterial communication and virulence.
