Artemisia annua L. (Compositae) is an annual herb, which has been traditionally used as an antipyretic and hemostatic agent with the herbal medicine name of Cheong Ho (菁蒿) in Korea and China. In this study, five di-caffeoylquinic acid derivatives and a coumarin were determined from the hot-water extract of aerial parts of A. annua. The structures of isolates were elucidated to be 1,3-di-O-caffeoylqunic acid (1), 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (2), 3,5-di-O-caffeoylqiunic acid (3), 1,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (4) and 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (5) and scopoletin (6). The presence of 1,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (4) is firstly reported from A. annua in the current study.

BACKGROUND: In this study, shoots of Aralia elata and Kalopanax pictus which belong to the Araliaceae family were analyzed using UPLC-DAD-ESI(+)-QToF/MS to characterize of individual phenolic acids. METHODS AND RESULTS: Total thirteen phenolic acids were identified, and nine hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives have been identified for the first time in shoots of Aralia elata and Kalopanax pictus. For total phenolic acid content (mg/100g dry weight), shoots of Aralia elata and Kalopanax pictus showed 754.8 and 845.3 mg/100g, respectively. 5-O-Caffeoylquinic acid (49%) and 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (44%) were found as major phenolic acids in Aralia elata, while 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (91%) was a major component in Kalopanax pictus. CONCLUSION: On comparing the two plants, it was considered that the biosynthesis of 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid can be affected by 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid in Aralia elata.

Activity-guided isolation from an ethylacetate-soluble fraction of a 70% (v/v) ethanolic extract from the roots of Taraxacum ohwianum, using a pancreatic lipase inhibition assay, resulted in isolation and identification of five phenolic metabolites of previously known structure; these were 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, chicoric acid, caffeic acid, protocatechuic aldehyde, and luteolin. All structures were confirmed by NMR and MS scpectroscopic data. Of these compounds 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity, with $IC_{50}$ of $65.1{\pm}0.7\;{\mu}M$ against pancreatic lipase.

The plant Ligularia fischeri var. spiciformis (Compositae) is a candidate for available functional foods. It has been used to treat diabetes mellitus and rheumatoid arthritis. We have reported the isolation of a new eremophilanolide named 6-oxoeremophilenolide and cytotoxic intermedeol together with the isolation of hydrophilic constituents, chlorogenic acid, 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acie (3), and 5-O-[1-butyl]-3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid. Compound 3 was again isolated by combination of silica gel- and ODS column chromatography for the anti-nociceptive action. Compound 3 and 4 were assayed in hot plate- and writhing tests in the rat. Although the three derivatives of caffeic acid exhibited significant anti-nociceptive effects at 10 mg/kg dose (i.p.),(activity potency: 4>3). These results suggest that compound 3 is responsible for at least rheumatoid arthritis, and caffeic acid moiety is the active moiety of dicaffeoylquinic acid.

Two phenylpropanoids, three caffeoylquinic acid deravatives and an iridoid were isolated from the stem of Lonicera macckii. On the basis of physico-chemical data, these compounds were identified as caffeic acid methyl ester(1), 5-caffeoylquinic acid n-butyl ester(2), methyl 3,4-dicaffeoyl quinate(3), 3,5-dicaffeoyl quinic acid n-butyl ester(4), loganin (5) and caffeic acid(6). All compounds were isolated for the first time from the stem of this plant.

Advanced glycation end product (AGE) formation and reactive oxygen species are potential therapeutic targets for the prevention of diabetic nephropathy and other pathogenic complications. Activity-guided isolation of an ethylacetate-soluble portion of 80% methanolic extract from fruits of Sorbus commixta of the Ulleung Island origin using AGE formation inhibition assay led to the isolation and identification of three caffeoylquinic acid derivatives of a previously known structure, 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid (neochlorogenic acid; 1), 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid (cryptochlorogenic acid; 2), and 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (chlorogenic acid; 3). The structures of these compounds were confirmed by interpretation of nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry data. Among the isolates, the major metabolite, neochlorogenic acid (1) showed the most potent inhibitory effect against AGE formation with an $IC_{50}$ value of $167.5{\pm}3.5{\mu}M$. Furthermore, all isolated chlorogenic acid isomers were evaluated for their radical scavenging activity against peroxynitrite, and structurally related isomers 1, 2, and 3 exhibited potent inhibitory effects in this radical scavenging assay. This result suggests that the monocaffeoyl quinic acid derivatives isolated from S. commixta might be beneficial for the regulation of diabetic complications and related diseases.

The six phenolic compounds isolated from the root of Dipsacus asper, 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (1), methyl 3,4-di-O-caffeoyl quinate (2), 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3), methyl 3,5-di-O-caffeoyl quinate (4), 4-5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (5), methyl 4,5-di-O-caffeoyl quinate (6) were continuously evaluated for their antioxidant activity using superoxide radical scavenging and AAPH-mediated (LDL) oxidation assay. The results demonstrated that compounds 1 - 6 had remarkable antioxidant activities with the $IC_50$ values ranging from 12.0 to $2.8{\mu}M$ in superoxide radical scavenging. They also inhibited AAPH-mediated low-density lipoprotein LDL oxidation by the generation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) with $IC_50$ ranging from 6.7 to $8.7{\mu}M$.

Bioassay-directed chromatographic fractionation of an ethyl acetate extract from leaves of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) afforded six quinic acid derivatives: 3,5-epi-dicaffeoylquinic acid (1), 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (2), methyl 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinate (3), methyl 3,4-dicaffeoylquinate (4), methyl 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (5),4,5-dicaffeoylquinate (6), and two phenolic compounds: caffeic acid (7) and caffeic acid methyl ester (8) together with three flavonoids: quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (9), quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside, isoquercitrin (10) and kaempferol 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (11). The structures of these compounds were elucidated by the aid of spectroscopic methods. These compounds were assessed for antioxidant activities using three different cell-free bioassay systems. All isolates except 11 showed potent DPPH and superoxide anion radicals scavenging, and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activities. 3,5-epi-DCQA (1) and methyl quinates (3-5) along with flavonoide 9 were isolated for the first time from this plant.

In this study, phytochemical investigation on the aerial parts of Bupleurum falcatum resulted in the isolation of fourteen compounds including three quinic acid derivatives (1 - 3), five flavonoids (4 - 8), three monoterpene glycosides (9 - 11), and three saikosaponins (12 - 14). Compound 1 was first isolated from nature and unambiguously determined to be 3-O-feruloyl 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid on the basis of the extensive spectroscopic evidence. Biological testing revealed that saikosaponin A (12) and saikosaponin D (13) showed moderate antiproliferative effects on HL-60 and HepG2 cancer cell lines.

An HPLC analysis method was developed for standard determinations of chlorogenic acid, 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, and 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid as functional health materials in Ligularia fischeri extract. HPLC was performed on a $C_{18}$ Kromasil column ($4.6{\times}250mm$, $5{\mu}m$ column) with a gradient elution of 0.1% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min at $30^{\circ}C$. The analytes were detected at 330 nm. The HPLC method was validated in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonization guideline of analytical procedures with respect to specificity, precision, accuracy, and linearity. The limits of detection and quantitation for the four compounds were 3.0~14.6 and $9.2{\sim}44.4{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Calibration curves showed good linearity ($r^2$ > 0.999), and the precision of analysis was satisfied (less than 0.9%). Recoveries of quantified compounds ranged from 98.96 to 101.81%. This result indicates that the established HPLC method is very useful for the determination of marker compounds in Ligularia fischeri leaf extracts.
