Article Abstract
Solid-Liquid Extraction (SLE) using solvent of different polarities (CHCl, EtOAc, and -BuOH) has been applied to leaves and fruits from ( L.), a deciduous shrub with an expected rich phytochemical profile. The total polyphenols content and the radical scavenging activity of each extract were evaluated. These extracts were analyzed by HPLC-DAD and rutin, quercetin-3-glucoside, caftaric and caffeic acid had been positively identified. The phytochemical study of the ethyl acetate extract of led to the isolation and structural elucidation of quercetin (1); quercetin-3--β-glucoside (2); epicatechin (3); naringenin (4), reported for the first time from this species except caffeic acid and epicatechin. These compounds were identified by 1D and 2D NMR combined analysis as well as by MS and UV.The antimicrobial activity of these extracts has also been tested, showing strong antibacterial activity-solvent dependent-against Gram positive bacteria. Additionally, bactericidal power was demonstrated in fruit extracts.

Xenopus embryo serves as an ideal model for teratogenesis assays to observe the effects of any compounds on the cellular processes crucial for early development and adult tissue homeostasis. In our screening of a chemical library with frog embryo, caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) was found to upregulate the FGF/MAPK pathway, disrupting germ layer formation in early development. Exposure to CAPE interfered with the formation of anterior-posterior body axis and of ectodermal derivatives such as eyes, dorsal fin and pigment cells.

Caffeic acid is a key indicator of wine quality, but its sensitive and accurate detection remains challenging due to the lack of high-performance sensing materials. Metal/N-doped porous carbon (M/NPC) electrocatalysts with abundant catalytic sites are promising to address this issue. Herein, a FeCo nanoalloy encapsulated in NPC (FeCo@NPC) was designed and synthesized via a "covalent organic framework (COF) adsorption-pyrolysis" strategy.

Chlorogenic acid (5-CQA) is a caffeic acid ester widely accumulated in higher plants. It plays roles in defense against biotic and abiotic stresses. As its biosynthetic pathway shares common enzymes and intermediates with that of lignin, 5-CQA has long been hypothesized to be involved in lignin formation.

The current investigation was designed to explore the chemical composition, antioxidant capacity, enzyme inhibitory activity, and cytotoxic potential of four different extracts (Ethyl Acetate, Ethanol, Ethanol/Water (70%) and Water) derived from the aerial parts of . In vitro, assessments were performed utilizing diverse antioxidant assays, along with evaluations of neuroprotective enzyme inhibition targeting acetylcholine and butyl choline enzymes, as well as antidiabetic activities against α-amylase and α-glucosidase and a potential candidate for a tyrosinase inhibitor. LC-ESI-QTOF-MS identification provided a total of 70 compounds in the extracted samples of , including kaempferol 3-(deoxyhexosyl-hexoside)-7-hexoside, rutin, quercetin dideoxyhexoside, caffeic acid hexoside, quinoline alkaloids, morphine derivatives, and scoulerine.

Introduction: Inflammation and oxidative stress are considered main pathophysiological factors for neuronal and cardiovascular diseases, also leading to the impairment of main cellular metabolic pathways. Promotion of hyperlipidemia is also the result of inflammatory and oxidative (ROS production) processes. Additionally, compounds of medicinal interest like valproic and caffeic acids and amino acids like proline and tyrosine have shown antiinflammatory and cellular protective potency.
