Detailed Description:
Cas No. :331-39-5 Caffeic acid

Synonyms: 3,4-Dihydroxycinnamic acid

Molecular Structure:

Molecular Formula: C9H8O4

Molecular Weight: 180.16

CAS Registry Number: 331-39-5
Appearance: Yellow crystalline powder
Function: Caffeic acid has been shown to inhibit carcinogenesis, although other experiments show possible carcinogenic effects. It is also known as an antioxidant in vitro and also in vivo.Caffeic acid also shows immunomodulatory and antiinflammtory activity.
Caffeic acid outperformed the other antioxidants, reducing aflatoxin production by more than 95 percent. The studies are the first to show that oxidative stress that would otherwise trigger or enhanceAspergillus flavus aflatoxin production can be stymied by caffeic acid. This opens the door to using natural anti- fungicide methods by supplementing trees with antioxidants.Another study also showed that CAPE suppresses acute immune and inflammatory responses and holds promise for therapeutic uses to reduce inflammation.
