Effects / Benefits / Uses

Research publised in April, 2015 shows that N-coumaroyldopamine and N-caffeoyldopamine were the two most potent compounds, able to increase cAMP at the concentrations < 0.05 μM in U937 cells. The decreasing order of potency was N-coumaroyldopamine > N-caffeoyldopamine > N-feruloyldopamine > N-sinapoyldopamine > N-cinnamoyldopamine.  therefore N-coumaroyldopamine and N-caffeoyldopamine were synthesized and determined as potent compounds that produce cAMP via β2-adrenoceptors in U937 cells. Beta-adrenoceptor agonists are therapeutic compounds developed solicitously and used clinically to treat various human diseases.
