Ferulic acid is an organic Chemicals, which is an abundant phenolic phytochemical found in plant cell wall components such as arabinoxylans as covalent side chains. Ferulic acid is a precursor in the manufacture of other aromatic compounds. It is an antioxidant in the sense that it is reactive toward free radicals such as reactive oxygen species ( ROS) . ROS and free radicals are implicated in DNA damage, cancer, accelerated cell aging. In addition, it may have pro-apoptotic effects in cancer cells, thereby leading to their destruction. What' more, Ferulic acid may be effective at preventing cancer induced by exposure to the carcinogenic compounds benzopyreneand 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide
