Product Description
1,3-Dicaffeoylquinic acid is an analogue of caffeoylquinic acid with anti-oxidant effect and free radical scavenging activity.
1,3-Dicaffeoylquinic acid (1,3-DCQA), also known as Cynarin, is a naturally occurring caffeoylquinic acid derivative with potent antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities. It is found in various plants and has demonstrated neuroprotective properties against amyloid-β toxicity, making it of interest in Alzheimer's disease research. The compound also exhibits anti-hyperlipidemic effects and potential immunosuppressive properties. Additionally, 1,3-DCQA has shown potent inhibition of HIV-1 integrase, a key enzyme in the viral replication cycle.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
1,3-Dicaffeoylquinic acid targets multiple molecular pathways. It activates both phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and extracellular regulated protein kinase 1/2 (Erk1/2) by stimulating their upstream tyrosine kinase A (Trk A). It also targets reactive oxygen species (ROS), Akt, and PI3K. The compound's neuroprotective effects are mediated through activation of these signaling pathways, while its anti-HIV activity involves inhibition of HIV-1 integrase.
ln Vitro
In neurons, it has been demonstrated that 1,3-Dicaffeoylquinic Acid increases neuronal cell viability against Aβ(42) toxicity in a concentration-dependent manner. While stimulating its upstream tyrosine kinase A (Trk A), 1,3-dicaffeoylquinic acid activates extracellular regulated protein kinase 1/2 (Erk1/2) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt. The augmentation of inactivating phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) and the control of the expression of apoptosis-related protein Bcl-2/Bax are linked to the anti-apoptotic potential of 1,3-dicaffeoylquinic acid [2]. In OGD/reperfusion injury, 1,3-dicaffeoylquinic acid (10 μM, 20 μM, 50 μM, and 100 μM) can prevent GSH consumption and greatly increase cell viability prior to OGD/reperfusion. In OGD/reperfusion-treated astrocytes, 1,3-dicaffeoylquinic acid causes Nrf2 nuclear translocation and raises GCL activity; however, this effect is lost in Nrf2 siRNA-transfected cells [3].
In vitro, 1,3-Dicaffeoylquinic acid exhibits significant antioxidant activity and free radical scavenging effects. It increases neuronal cell viability against Aβ(42) toxicity in a concentration-dependent manner. The compound shows potent inhibition of HIV-1 integrase, with activity comparable to 1,5-DCQA. It also activates PI3K and Erk1/2 signaling pathways through Trk A stimulation. These activities suggest broad therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative diseases and viral infections.
ln Vivo
In Wistar rats, 1-O-ABL and 1,3-dicaffeoylquinic acid (32.0 mg/kg, orally) are absorbed very quickly. 1-O-ABL and 1,3-dicaffeoylquinic acid have maximal plasma concentrations of 19.1 ± 6.9 ng/mL and 44.5 ± 7.1 ng/mL, respectively [1].
In vivo, 1,3-Dicaffeoylquinic acid (Cynarin) has demonstrated neuroprotective effects. The compound exhibits choleretic properties and promotes bile flow. Its anti-hyperlipidemic activity has been observed in animal models. The compound shows potential as an immunosuppressive agent. These in vivo activities support its traditional use in herbal medicine and suggest potential therapeutic applications in metabolic and inflammatory disorders.
Enzyme Assay
General protocols for cell-free enzyme assays involve incubating purified HIV-1 integrase with a DNA substrate and varying concentrations of 1,3-Dicaffeoylquinic acid in reaction buffer containing 20 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 10 mM MnCl2, and 10 mM DTT at 37°C for 30-60 minutes. The reaction is stopped by adding EDTA, and products are analyzed by gel electrophoresis or fluorescence-based methods. IC50 values are determined from dose-response curves. Positive controls (known integrase inhibitors) and negative controls (vehicle only) are included.
Cell Assay
General protocols for cell-based neuroprotection assays use primary neurons or neuronal cell lines (e.g., SH-SY5Y) cultured in neurobasal medium. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and pretreated with various concentrations of 1,3-Dicaffeoylquinic acid for 2-4 hours, then exposed to Aβ(42) oligomers for 24-48 hours. Cell viability is measured using MTT, LDH release, or calcein-AM staining. Apoptosis is assessed by caspase-3/7 activity or TUNEL staining. The protective effect is calculated as the percentage increase in cell viability compared to Aβ-treated controls.
Animal Protocol
General protocols for in vivo neuroprotection studies use transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (e.g., APP/PS1 mice) or acute Aβ injection models. 1,3-Dicaffeoylquinic acid is administered orally or intraperitoneally at doses ranging from 10-100 mg/kg daily for 2-4 weeks. Cognitive function is assessed using Morris water maze, Y-maze, or novel object recognition tests. Brain tissues are collected for biochemical analysis of Aβ levels, oxidative stress markers, and inflammatory cytokines. Histological examination evaluates plaque burden and neuronal loss.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for 1,3-Dicaffeoylquinic acid indicate that it is a natural product with moderate oral bioavailability. As a caffeoylquinic acid derivative, it undergoes extensive metabolism in the gastrointestinal tract and liver. The compound is rapidly absorbed and distributed to various tissues, including the brain, which supports its neuroprotective effects. Elimination occurs primarily through biliary excretion and renal clearance. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and AUC are compound- and formulation-dependent.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 1,3-Dicaffeoylquinic acid suggest it has a favorable safety profile as a natural product. It is generally recognized as safe based on its presence in commonly consumed foods and traditional herbal preparations. No significant acute toxicity has been reported at therapeutic doses. However, comprehensive toxicological studies, including chronic toxicity, carcinogenicity, and reproductive toxicity assessments, are limited. As with any bioactive compound, high doses may cause adverse effects, and caution is advised in sensitive populations.
