P-coumaric acid is a naturally occurring phenolic compound that can be utilized as a reference standard or an analytical reagent in various laboratory settings. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents. P-coumaric acid is commonly used as a standard in analytical techniques, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and spectrophotometric measurements, to quantify and characterize similar compounds in sample matrices.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following 18-h starvation, rats were divided into 4 groups. Rats were given 75% ethanol (ulcer and ulcer + p-coumaric acid groups) or saline (control and p-coumaric acid groups) by oral gavage under light isoflurane anesthesia. One hour before ethanol or saline administration, rats were treated with either 1 ml 10% tween-80 (ulcer and control groups) as vehicle or p-coumaric acid (Sigma-Aldrich C9008, Merck, Germany; 250 mg/kg; suspended in 10% tween-80) (p-coumaric acid and ulcer + p-coumaric acid groups) per oral (Table I). Barros, et al., showed that the dose of 250 mg/kg of p-coumaric acid reduced the macroscopic lesion index most compared to other doses [16] (link). Therefore, the dose of 250 mg/kg p-coumaric acid was used for treatment in the study. One hour after ulcer induction, all rats were euthanized by cutting the aorta and removing the heart under deep isoflurane anesthesia. Stomach samples were collected for macroscopic examination, histological evaluation, microscopic scoring and biochemical analyses. For histological evaluation the stomach samples were examined under light microscopy and for biochemical analyses tissue-associated myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity as the indicator of neutrophil infiltration, malondialdehyde (MDA) which is the end-product of lipid peroxidation and endogen antioxidant glutathione (GSH) levels were measured.

For testing of cognitive performance, we collected and restrained bees as described above, and randomly allocated them to receive one of five feeding treatments, all dissolved to a final sucrose concentration of 1M: sucrose solution (Control, Invitrogen: 15503022), rutin 1 μM (Rut; Sigma-Aldrich: R5143, concentrations according to [14 (link), 42 ]; kaempferol 131 μM (Kaemp; Sigma-Aldrich: K0133, concentrations adapted from [6 (link)], p-coumaric acid 200 μM (p-CA; Sigma-Aldrich: C9008 concentrations following [8 (link)], rutin 1 μM + kaempferol 131 μM + p-coumaric acid 200 μM (Mix). In all cases, bees were fed six doses of 10 μL of the composition (two doses a day for three days). On the fourth day, bees were randomly assigned to one of two treatments three hours before training: 10 μL of 1M sucrose solution or 10 μL of fipronil 228.7 nM (Fip; 1ng/bee). Thus, bees belonged to one of ten treatments according to the composition administered: Control, Rut, Kaemp, p-CA, Mix, Fip, Rut+Fip, Kaemp+Fip, p-CA+Fip, Mix+Fip. These treatments were used for the evaluation of protection of learning and memory, motor activity, and sucrose sensitivity.

Yeast colonies of CENF09, CENFP01, CENFAA01, and CENFPAA01 were pre-cultured in 5-mL CM medium in 50-mL tubes overnight at 30 °C, 225 rpm, respectively. The pre-culture was then diluted into fresh 20-mL CM medium in 250-mL flasks to a final OD600 of 0.05, respectively. Fermentation was carried out at 30 °C, 225 rpm for 96 h, with substrate p-coumaric acid (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) concentration at 0.5 mM. In addition, the best acetyl-CoA-producing strain was also tested at a series of p-coumaric acid concentration: 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 mM.
The fermentation broth was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 min. Samples from each supernatant were taken for HPLC analysis on a XDB-C18 column (Agilent, Santa Clara, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
