Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Chicoric Acid is a natural compound. To date, plants from at least 63 genera and species have been found to contain chicoric acid, and while the compound is used as a processing quality indicator, it may also have useful health benefits. Chicoric acid induces apoptosis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes through ROS-mediated PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways. Chicoric acid stimulates AMP kinase pathway in L6 myotubes and extends lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans.

More Info
Though chicoric acid was first identified in 1958, it was largely ignored until recent popular media coverage cited potential health beneficial properties from consuming food and dietary supplements containing this compound
Product Data
Biological target:
L-Chicoric Acid ((-)-Chicoric acid) is a dicaffeoyltartaric acid and a potent, selective and reversible HIV-1 integrase inhibitor with an IC50 of ~100 nM.
In vitro activity:
Herein, the major methylated metabolites of CA (chicoric acid) were isolated from an in vitro co-incubation system, and their structures were elucidated. The antioxidant activities of the monomethylated metabolites (M1) and dimethylated metabolites (M2) of CA were evaluated against H2O2-induced oxidative stress damage in HepG2 cells and compared to CA. The results indicated that both M1 and M2 had better antioxidant capacities than CA by increasing cell viability, improving mitochondrial function, and balancing cellular redox status. Reference: J Agric Food Chem. 2021 Feb 24;69(7):2179-2189. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33577312/
In vivo activity:
CA (chicoric acid) (15 and 30 mg/kg) administration significantly reduced body weight and white adipose weight in comparison with the HFD group (p < 0.01, p < 0.001). Compared with the ND mice, the HFD mice exhibited a significant increase in fasting blood glucose level (p < 0.001). Consequently, CA significantly reduced fasting blood level in mice fed with a high-fat diet (Figure 1(c); p < 0.001).
