Background:

Methyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate (Protocatechuic acid methyl ester;Methyl protocatechuate) is a major metabolite of antioxidant polyphenols found in green tea. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect[1].

Methyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate (Protocatechuic acid methyl ester;Methyl protocatechuate) alleviates the toxic effects of F- via modulating its bioavailability, intracellular calcium level, mitochondrial membrane integrity and redox signaling in A549 cells[1].

Methyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate (Protocatechuic acid methyl ester;Methyl protocatechuate) (25 or 50 mg/kg bw/day) prevents the cellular F- accumulation and oxidative stress. It prevents the inflammatory and associated fibrosis progression by restoring the expression of RAGE and Nrf2[2].
