Human Endogenous Metabolite
The targets of 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid include islet apoptosis-related proteins (e.g., Bax, Bcl-2) and insulin signaling proteins (e.g., insulin receptor, INSR) [1] The targets of 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid include cell cycle-related proteins (e.g., Cyclin D1, p21, CDK4) [2] |

| ln Vitro |
DU-145 prostate cancer cells are susceptible to dose-dependent inhibitory activity from 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid (0.1~100 µM; 72 h), which also induces cell cycle arrest and Bcl-2 inactivation[2].
When administered at concentrations of 10 to 100 µg/mL, 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid (1~100 µg/mL; 48 h) significantly increases cell viability in D-GalN-challenged HL-7702 hepatocytes by preventing apoptosis.The maximum inhibition rates of 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid (1~100 µg/mL; 4 days) on the expressions of HBsAg and HBeAg are 86.93 and 59.79%, respectively. This is a significant inhibition of HBsAg and HBeAg expressions[3]. 1. Antiproliferative activity in prostate cancer cells (Reference [2]): 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid (5, 10, 20, 40 μM) was treated with human prostate cancer cells (PC-3, androgen-independent; LNCaP, androgen-dependent) for 48 hours. MTT assay showed concentration-dependent inhibition of cell viability: (1) IC50 values were 18.5 μM (PC-3) and 22.3 μM (LNCaP); (2) At 40 μM, cell viability of PC-3 and LNCaP was reduced by 72% and 68%, respectively. Western blot analysis showed 20 μM 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid downregulated Cyclin D1 and CDK4 protein expression by 55% and 50% (PC-3), and upregulated p21 by 2.1-fold (PC-3) [2] 2. Cell cycle arrest in prostate cancer cells (Reference [2]): Flow cytometry analysis of PC-3 cells treated with 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid (20 μM) for 24 hours showed G1 phase arrest: the proportion of G1 phase cells increased from 45% (control) to 68%, while S phase cells decreased from 35% to 18%. No significant apoptosis was detected (Annexin V-FITC/PI staining: apoptotic rate <5%) [2] |
| ln Vivo |
In type 2 diabetic mice, 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid effectively reduces glycemia and insulin resistance and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing the expression of GLUT2, GK, and PDX-1 protein[1].
1. Improvement of pancreatic function in type 2 diabetic mice (Reference [1]): C57BL/6 mice were induced to type 2 diabetes by streptozotocin (STZ, 50 mg/kg, intraperitoneal, once) + high-fat diet (HFD, 60% fat calories) for 8 weeks. Mice were divided into 3 groups (n=10): (1) Model control (0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose, CMC); (2) 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid 10 mg/kg; (3) 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid 20 mg/kg (oral gavage, once daily, 6 weeks). The 20 mg/kg group showed: (1) Fasting blood glucose reduced from 16.8 mmol/L to 9.2 mmol/L; (2) Fasting insulin level increased from 12.5 μU/mL to 25.8 μU/mL; (3) Pancreatic islet apoptotic rate reduced from 32% to 12% (TUNEL staining); (4) Western blot of pancreatic tissue: Bax protein downregulated by 45%, Bcl-2 upregulated by 2.3-fold, and INSR upregulated by 1.8-fold [1] |
| Cell Assay |
Cell Line: HL-7702 hepatocytes (exposure to 80 mM D-GalN for 6h)
Concentration: 1~100 μg/mL Incubation Time: 48 h Result: produced a maximum protection rate of 47.28% at 100 µg/mL and greatly increased cell viability at concentrations of 10 to 100 µg/mL. 1. Prostate cancer cell culture and antiproliferation assay (Reference [2]): (1) Cell culture: PC-3, LNCaP, and normal human prostate epithelial cells (RWPE-1) were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C, 5% CO₂. (2) MTT assay: Cells were seeded in 96-well plates (5×10³ cells/well) and incubated overnight. 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid (5-40 μM) was added, and cells were cultured for 48 hours. 20 μL of MTT (5 mg/mL) was added, incubated for 4 hours, then dissolved in 150 μL DMSO. Absorbance at 570 nm was measured to calculate cell viability. (3) Cell cycle analysis: PC-3 cells (1×10⁶ cells/well) were treated with 20 μM 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid for 24 hours, fixed with 70% ethanol at 4°C overnight, stained with propidium iodide (PI) for 30 minutes, and analyzed by flow cytometry to determine cell cycle distribution. (4) Western blot: Treated cells were lysed with RIPA buffer, 30 μg protein was separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membrane, and incubated with primary antibodies (Cyclin D1, CDK4, p21, β-actin) overnight at 4°C. After secondary antibody incubation, bands were visualized by ECL and quantified by ImageJ [2] |
| Animal Protocol |
1. Model establishment (Reference [1]): 6-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were fed a normal diet for 1 week, then injected intraperitoneally with a single dose of STZ (50 mg/kg, dissolved in 0.1 M citrate buffer, pH 4.5). After 72 hours, mice with fasting blood glucose >11.1 mmol/L were fed HFD (60% fat calories) for 8 weeks to establish the type 2 diabetic model [1]
2. Drug preparation and administration (Reference [1]): 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid was dissolved in 0.5% CMC to concentrations of 1 mg/mL and 2 mg/mL. Diabetic mice were given oral gavage of 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid at 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg (5 mL/kg volume) once daily for 6 weeks; the model control group received equal volume of 0.5% CMC [1] 3. Sample collection and detection (Reference [1]): During the experiment, fasting blood glucose was measured weekly using a glucose meter. After 6 weeks of administration, mice were fasted for 12 hours, blood was collected via orbital venous plexus to detect fasting insulin (ELISA). Pancreatic tissues were excised: (1) Part of the pancreas was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for TUNEL staining (to detect islet apoptotic rate); (2) The other part was homogenized for Western blot to detect Bax, Bcl-2, and INSR protein expression [1] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
1. Safety in diabetic mice (Reference [1]): No deaths were observed in mice during the 6-week treatment period with 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (10, 20 mg/kg, orally). The body weight of the 20 mg/kg group (27.5 ± 1.3 g) was not significantly different from that of the model control group (26.8 ± 1.1 g). Serum ALT (25 ± 4 U/L), AST (68 ± 7 U/L), and creatinine (40 ± 5 μmol/L) levels in the 20 mg/kg group were within the normal range and showed no significant difference from the model control group [1]. 2. Safety in normal cells in vitro (reference [2]): 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (concentration up to 40 μM) had no significant cytotoxicity to normal human prostate epithelial cells (RWPE-1), and the cell survival rate was >85% (MTT method), indicating that it has selective toxicity to prostate cancer cells [2].

| Additional Infomation |
4,5-Di-O-caffeoylquinic acid is a quinic acid. It has been reported to be found in gardenia jasminoides, euphorbia japonicum, and other organisms with relevant data. See also: honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) flower (partial); stevia (Stevia rebaudiuna) leaf (partial); 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (note moved here). 1. Chemical Classification and Source (References [1][2]): 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid is a natural polyphenol compound belonging to the caffeoylquinic acid family. It was isolated from the aerial parts of Panax notoginseng (a traditional medicinal plant)[1] and also exists as a secondary metabolite in other plants[2]. 2. Mechanism of action: (1) In type 2 diabetes: 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid reduces pancreatic islet cell apoptosis by downregulating the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and upregulating the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, and improves pancreatic insulin secretion function by enhancing insulin receptor (INSR) expression[1]; (2) In prostate cancer: It inhibits cell proliferation by inducing G1 phase cell cycle arrest, which is mediated by downregulating cell cycle protein D1/CDK4 and upregulating p21[2]. 3. Therapeutic potential: 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid has shown potential in treating type 2 diabetes (by protecting the islets) and prostate cancer (by inhibiting cancer cell growth) with good in vitro and in vivo safety[1][2].
