Veratric acid, also known as 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid, is a benzoic acid. It is a plant metabolite found in species such as Hypericum laricifolium, Artemisia sacrorum, and Zeyheria montana. [1] [2]
A 2023 study at SRM Institute of Science and Technology suggests that veratric acid has apoptotic and antiproliferative effects against triple negative breast cancer cells. These effects were substantially increased when polydopamine nanoparticles were used as a sustained release drug carrier. [3]
