 Ferulic acid, F-A, a ubiquitous natural phenolic phytochemical present in seeds, leaves, both in its free form and covalently conjugated to the plant's cell wall polysaccharides, glycoproteins, polyamines, lignin and hydroxy-fatty acids. F-A plays a vital role in providing the rigidity to the cell wall and formation of other important organic compounds, like coniferal alcohol, vanolin, synaptic, dipherolic acid and curcumin. F-A exhibits wide variety of biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-allergic, hepatoprotective, anti-carcinogenic, antithrombotic, increased sperm viability, antiviral and vasodilatory actions, metalculation, modulation of enzyme activity, activation of transcriptional factors, gene expression and signal transduction.
