4-Aminocinnamic acid hydrochloride (4ACA) is a synthetic compound that inhibits the bacterial membrane by binding to the polypeptide chain of the protein. It is a water-soluble polymer that is capable of enhancing the water solubility of other compounds and has been shown to inhibit the growth of typhimurium. 4ACA binds to chalcone, anilines, and styrene, which are all substrates for bacterial enzymes. The interaction between 4ACA and these substrates alters their chemical properties and provides resistance to bacteria.

Cinnamic acid may combat cancer; IC50 in glioblastoma, melanoma, prostate, and lung cells is 1-4.5 mM.

Carboxylic acid with additional oxygen functions

Methyl 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamate (MTMC) is a compound that has been used as the active ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of cardiac disease. It has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on ventricular myocytes and to induce apoptosis in rat heart cells. MTMC also inhibits neutrophil recruitment and reduces the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins. It has also been shown to be effective in treating congestive heart failure by blocking cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial apoptosis. Methyl 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamate has not been tested on humans or animals for safety or efficacy in treating depression.

2,3-Methylenedioxycinnamic acid is a synthetic, isomeric compound. It has been postulated that this compound could be a topoisomerase poison and that it mediates the alkenylation of protoberberine alkaloids. The physicochemical properties of 2,3-methylenedioxycinnamic acid have not been determined.
