Bioactivity | 3,4-Dicaffeoylquinic acid (3,4-Di-O-caffeoylquinic acid), naturally isolated from Laggera alata, has antioxidative, DNA protective, neuroprotective and hepatoprotective properties. 3,4-Dicaffeoylquinic acid exerts apoptosis-mediated cytotoxicity and α-glucosidase inhibitory effects. 3,4-Dicaffeoylquinic acid possesses a unique mechanism of anti-influenza viral activity, that is, enhancing viral clearance by increasing TRAIL[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | 3,4-Dicaffeoylquinic acid acts as a greater primary antioxidant than its methanol extract, by having higher ferric reducing activity (EC50 2.18 μg/ml), β-carotene bleaching activity (EC50 23.85 μg/ml) and DPPH scavenging activity (EC50 68.91 μg/ml). 3,4-Dicaffeoylquinic acid exhibits a remarkable dose-dependent inhibitory effect on NCI-H23 (human lung adenocarcinoma) cell lines (EC50 3.26 μg/ml) and is found to be apoptotic in nature based on a clear indication of DNA fragmentation. 3,4-Dicaffeoylquinic acid also displays a concentration-dependent α-glucosidase inhibition with EC50 241.80 μg/ml[1]. | ||||||||||||
