Synthesized from phenylalanine via p-coumaroyl-CoA
Broad antifungal activity (e.g., against B. cinerea)
Role in oomycete resistance
Regulated by MYB/WRKY TFs (e.g., VvMYB14, VvWRKY8) and stress signals (pathogen, UV)
[1]
Cardioprotective against norepinephrine-induced damage; antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress (e.g., lowers MDA levels); improves cardiomyocyte viability, morphology, and contractile function (e.g., preserves peak shortening, maximal velocities of shortening/re-lengthening); acts partly via SOD/FOXO1 pathway; decreases FOXO1 and acetyl-FOXO1 protein expression while increasing SIRT1 expression and FOXO1 transcriptional activity; anti-proliferative on cardiac fibroblasts without increasing cell death; non-toxic at low doses (e.g., 30 μM/L).

Plant defense in grapevine against fungi and oomycetes
Antioxidant and signaling molecule in immune responses
[1]
Protects adult rat cardiomyocytes from norepinephrine-induced contractile dysfunction, oxidative stress, and reduced viability; prevents morphological changes (e.g., maintains rod-shaped cells); inhibits cardiac fibroblast proliferation, potentially reducing cardiac fibrosis; potential therapeutic for heart failure by countering sympathetic overactivation and oxidative damage.
