General description

Sinapyl alcohol, a monolignol, is a primary lignin monomer. It has been evaluated for anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities. It participates in the initial stages in the biosynthesis of lignin. Coupling reactions of sinapyl alcohol and sinapyl p-hydroxybenzoate has been reported. Preparation of sinapyl alcohol by selective 1,2-reduction of corresponding cinnamate esters using diisobutylaluminium hydride as reducing agent has been studied.

Application

Sinapyl alcohol may be employed in the preparation of lignin, a highly stable biopolymer.

Most of the known 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase (4CL) isoforms lack CoA-ligation activity for sinapic acid. Therefore, there is some doubt as to whether sinapic acid contributes to sinapyl alcohol biosynthesis. In this study, we characterized the enzyme activity of a

This study describes the substrate recognition profile of UGT72E1, an UDP-glucose:glycosyltransferase of Arabidopsis thaliana that is the third member of a branch of glycosyltransferases, capable of conjugating lignin monomers and related metabolites. The data show that UGT72E1, in contrast to
