Quality Level

Application

(±)-2-(p-Methoxyphenoxy)propionic acid may be used as a sweet taste receptor antagonist to study its effect on allulose-induced glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) secretion rats. It may also be used to study the response of the secretin tumor cell line (STC-1) to sweetener in the presence and absence of (±)-2-(p-methoxyphenoxy)propionic acid or lactisole.

Biochem/physiol Actions

As a taste modulator, the sodium salt inhibits the perception of sweetness in humans, but not in rats.
