I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.

N-Feruloylserotonin and N-(p-coumaroyl)serotonin are natural products that can be found in the extract of safflower seeds (Carthamus tinctorius).[2] These natural products have been isolated and studied to investigate their antioxidant effects.[3] These polyphenols have been utilized in traditional Chinese medicine and other eastern medicine practices to have strong antioxidant effects, chemotherapeutic effects, and atherosclerosis attenuation.[1][4] It has been found that N-(p-coumaroyl) and N- feruloyl serotonin can suppress the expression of matrix metalloproteinases MMP3/13 and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS), thus attenuating cartilage degradation.[2]
Biosynthesis
The biosynthetic pathway of N-feruloylserotonin and N-(p-coumaroyl)serotonin has been reported.[5] In plants, the enzyme anthranilate synthase (AS) is composed of two subunits that modulate the production or suppression of tryptophan from chorismate.[6] Tryptophan is then decarboxylated by tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC) into tryptamine.[5] Tryptamine 5-hydroxylase (T5H) then hydroxylates tryptamine into serotonin.[7][8]Serotonin, the precursor to N-(p-coumaroyl) and N-feruloylserotonin, is found in the seeds of the safflower plant.[9][10][11]Hydroxycinnamic acids are then transferred to serotonin from hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA esters by hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA: serotonin N-(hydroxycinnamoyl)transferase (SHT).[6]
