General description

2-cis,4-trans-Abscisic acid (ABA) is an organic compound used as a starting material in in organic synthesis. It is also used as a chiral auxiliary during asymmetric synthesis. ABA derivatives can be used to control the stereochemistry of reactions by serving as chiral templates that induce the formation of specific products.

Application


  • Chiral Separation of Abscisic Acid: Research demonstrated direct chiral separation of abscisic acid using high-performance liquid chromatography with a phenyl column and a gamma-cyclodextrin mobile phase, advancing the analytical methods essential for studying plant stress hormones (Terashima et al., 2023).

  • Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitory Activity: A study including abscisic acid derivatives showed significant xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity, offering potential health benefits and therapeutic applications (Miyata et al., 2019).

  • Anticancer Potential: Extracts containing abscisic acid from mangrove endophytic fungi exhibited cytotoxic properties and induced G(0)/G(1) cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human cancer cells, highlighting their potential in cancer treatment strategies (Zhou et al., 2018).

  • Antidiabetic Activity: Extracts involving abscisic acid from an endophytic fungus showed promising antidiabetic activity, potentially improving treatment options for diabetes through natural product research (Uzor et al., 2017).

  • Glucose Tolerance and Insulinemia Reduction: A groundbreaking study found that microgram amounts of abscisic acid in fruit extracts significantly improve glucose tolerance and reduce insulin levels in rats and humans, suggesting its use as a dietary supplement for managing diabetes (Magnone et al., 2015).

2-Cis,4-trans-abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that is present also in animals. Several lines of evidence suggest that ABA contributes to the regulation of glycemia in mammals: nanomolar ABA stimulates insulin release from β-pancreatic cells and glucose transporter-4-mediated glucose
