Preparation of ferulic acid and its application for the synthesis of cancer chemopreventive agents

Author(s): Taniguchi H, Hosoda A, Tsuno T, Maruta Y, Nomura E

Abstract

We suggest that chemical raw materials can best be obtained from natural resources. Ferulic acid is easily prepared in large quantities from rice bran pitch, a blackish brown waste oil with high viscosity, discharged in the process of the rice bran oil production. As an application of ferulic acid, potential cancer chemopreventive agents could be synthesized using organic synthetic methods.
