Product Data
Biological target:
Quinic acid exhibits various biological activities, such as antioxidant, antidiabetic, anticancer activity, antimicrobial, antiviral, aging, protective, anti-nociceptive and analgesic effects.
In vitro activity:
In this study, a dental membrane scaffold was fabricated using a 3D printing technique, and the antimicrobial effect of pomegranate seed and peel extract were investigated. The addition of pomegranate seed and peel extracts into the scaffolds resulted in a significant antimicrobial effect on S. aureus and E. faecalis bacteria. One of the components of interest in pomegranate seed and peel extracts was quinic acid, implying that quinic acid may have antimicrobial effects.

In vivo activity:
Tetrastigma hemsleyanum is an economically and medicinally valuable species. However, the material basis of its pharmacological action and the biomarkers associated with its anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects are unclear. One of its compounds, quinic acid, is associated with anticancer activity and anti-inflammatory activity. Reference: Molecules. 2023 Mar 28;28(7):3021. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37049789/
