Ethyl ferulate is a natural compound found in plants. It is the ethyl ester of ferulic acid. Ferulic acid has potent antioxidant properties and also inhibits polymerases, which are enzymes that catalyze the formation of DNA chains during DNA replication. Ethyl ferulate can be used as an antibacterial agent because it has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth by inhibiting protein synthesis. This inhibition is achieved through the inhibition of RNA polymerase and ribosomal protein S2, both of which are necessary for protein synthesis.

Ethyl ferulate is a natural plant ester with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties.

Ethyl ferulate - Natural grade is a phenolic compound, which is derived from the esterification of ferulic acid, a compound commonly extracted from plant sources such as rice bran and oats. The mode of action of ethyl ferulate involves its ability to scavenge free radicals, thereby exhibiting potent antioxidant properties. Additionally, it is known for its anti-inflammatory effects, as it can modulate the expression of various inflammatory mediators, making it a valuable molecule in the context of cellular protection. Ethyl ferulate finds extensive applications in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. In cosmetics, it is utilized for its ability to protect the skin from oxidative stress and to enhance the stability of formulations by preventing lipid peroxidation. It is also explored in nutraceutical products, where it contributes to health supplements aimed at reducing oxidative damage and inflammation. Furthermore, researchers are investigating its potential in topical applications for skin aging and damage repair, highlighting its role as a multifunctional ingredient in promoting skin health.
