The free, ester and insoluble bound phenolic acids in the extracts from defatted perilla seed flour were isolated and their antioxidative activities were evaluated in comparison with commercial synthetic antioxidants. Total phenolic content of the perilla seed was 0.75% as chlorogenic acid. Each percent ratio of the content of free, ester, and insoluble bound phenolic acid to total phenolic content was 87.5, 7.5 and 5.0% respectively. Chlorogenic acid was identified as a major phenolic acid and a small amount of caffeic acid was also identified in the free phenolic acid extract, but they were not found in soluble ester and insoluble bound phenolic extracts by two dimensional paper chromatography. Each type phenolic extract from 30g of deffated perilla flour showed antioxidant activity similar to that of BHT (0.02%, w/w) in 200g of soybean oil substrate inspite of the difference of each phenolic content.

Two antioxidative compounds were isolated from the methanolic extract of Eleutherococcus senticosus Max. plantlets and identified as chlorogenic acid and 1,4-di-o-caffeoyl-quinic acid on the basis of mass spectroscopy, $^1H-NMR$ and $^{13}C-NMR$ data. The DPPH free radical scavenging activities of chlorogenic acid $(RC_{50}\;:\;1.2\;{\mu}g)$ and 1,4-di-o-caffeoyl-quinic acid $(RC_{50}\;:\;0.4\;{\mu}g)$ were more effective than those of ${\alpha}-tocopherol\;(RC_{50}\;:\;12\;{\mu}g)$. Of them, 1,4-di-o-caffeoyl-quinic acid compound were isolated for the first time from this plant.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: There is growing interest in herbal medicines for managing age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Safflower seeds (Carthamus tinctorius L. seeds, CTS) and dandelions (Taraxacum coreanum, TC) are widely used to treat bone- or inflammation-related diseases in Oriental countries. This study investigated the protective effect of the CTS-TC combination on scopolamine (Sco)-induced memory deficits through inflammatory response and cholinergic function. Moreover, marker components such as serotonin, N-(p-coumaroyl) serotonin, N-feruloylserotonin, chlorogenic acid, and chicoric acid in the CTS-TC combination were analyzed for their potential benefits on memory function. MATERIALS/METHODS: Water extracts of CTS, TC, and the CTS-TC combination at various ratios (4:1, 1:1, and 1:4) (100 mg/kg) were orally administered to mice for 14 days. Sco (1 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into the mice before each behavioral test. T-maze and novel object recognition tests were conducted to monitor behavioral changes after the treatment. Western blotting was performed to detect protein expression. In addition, the presence of 5 biomarkers, serotonin, N-(p-coumaroyl) serotonin, N-feruloylserotonin, chlorogenic acid, and chicoric acid, was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). RESULTS: Behavioral tests showed that the CTS-TC combination enhanced memory function in Sco-injected mice. Inflammation-related proteins (inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, and glial fibrillary acidic protein) were downregulated after treatment with the CTS-TC combination. The acetylcholinesterase protein expression was also downregulated. HPLC analysis revealed that N-feruloylserotonin and chicoric acid were the predominant components, followed by N-(p-coumaroyl) serotonin, chlorogenic acid, and serotonin. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the CTS-TC combination protects against Sco-induced memory deficits by inhibiting inflammatory responses and cholinergic dysfunction. N-feruloylserotonin and chicoric acid, along with N-(p-coumaroyl) serotonin, chlorogenic acid, and serotonin, might be biomarkers for the CTS-TC combination, and their effects on memory protection warrant further study.

Direct inlet/MS was used to investigate the pyrolysis pathway and the pyrolyzates of tobacco polyphenols as precursor of catechol which has been known as one of the most potent co-carcinogen from cigarette smoke. Caffeic acid, catechol and quercetin, catechol were detected from the pyrolyzates of chlorogenic acid and rutin, respectively. Interrelationship between polyphenols from tobacco leaf and catechol from cigarette smoke was investigated by using HPLC and GC. These results reveal that chlorogenic acid is the most significant precursor of catechol in cigarette smoke.

Activity-guided isolation from the ethylacetate (EtOAc)-soluble portion of a methanolic extract of the seeds of Eriobotrya japonica, using several bioassays, led to the isolation and identification of six phenolic compounds of previously known structure: benzaldehyde (1), chlorogenic acid (2), caffeic acid (3), benzoic acid (4), ferulic acid (5), and amygdalin (6). Of these, benzaldehyde (1) exhibited tyrosinase inhibitory activity in a bioassay. In addition, chlorogenic acid (2) and caffeic acid (3) were found to have strong antioxidative effects on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity.

In this study, a comparative analysis was carried out between the 'Beta Tiny' and 'TY Nonari' cherry tomato cultivars harvested at the pink and red stages. Samples of the red stage were stored at room temperature for 9 days, during which physicochemical qualities, antioxidant compounds, and activities were measured. As cherry tomato ripening and storage progressed, firmness was reduced, whereas the lycopene content increased. Total phenolic content and antioxidant activity showed no significant changes as ripening and storage progressed; however, total flavonoid content of 'Beta Tiny' showed a significant increase (p<0.05). The main polyphenols in the two cultivars were identified as chlorogenic acid, rutin, and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, among which chlorogenic acid showed a significant decrease (p<0.05) as ripening and storage progressed. A strong correlation was found between total phenolic and flavonoid content (R=0.744), and ABTS radical scavenging activity (R=0.975). Additionally, a negative correlation was shown by lycopene and chlorogenic acid (R= -0.934).

Some compounds including flavonoids were tested as scavenger of nitrite which is believed to participate in the formation of N-nitroso compound. Many were found to be potent scavengers and the most potent ones were ascorbic arid, potassium thiocyanate, chlorogenic acid, catechin, morin, luteolin, luteolin-7-glucoside, and naringenin. To evaluate the influence of the above compounds on the endogenous formation of N-nitroso compound, the amount of nitrosoproline (NPRO) was examined by co-incubation of nitrite, proline, and test compounds at various concentrations. The analysis of NPRO by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was newly developed. Most compounds except ascorbic acid and chlorogenic acid were found to be no effects or activatory effects on NPRO formation. From the results obtained, it was suggested that most flavonoids which are contained in our customary diets were not associated with the inhibition of NPRO formation.

Metabolite profiling of blueberry (cultivar "Spartan") was performed by extraction using different solvents, methanol and ethyl acetate, through metabolomic analysis using LC-MS/MS. Unsupervised classification method (PCA) and supervised prediction model (OPLS-DA) provided good categorization of metabolites according to the extraction solvents. Metabolites of the anthocyanin family, including delphinidin hexoside, delphinidin, 5-O-feruloylquinic acid, malvidin hexoside, malvidin-3-arabinoside, petunidin-3-arabinoside, and petunidin hexoside, were mainly detected in methanol fractions, whereas those of the flavonoid family, including chlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid dimer, 6,8-di-C-arabinopyranosyl-luteolin, and luteolin were successfully prepared in the ethyl acetate fraction. Thus, metabolomic analysis of blueberry extracts allows for the simple profiling of whole and distinctive metabolites for future applications.

Esophageal reflux of gastric contents causes esophageal mucosal damage and inflammation. Recent studies show that oxygen-derived free radicals mediate mucosal damage in reflux esophagitis (RE). Chlorogenic acid (CGA), an ester of caffeic acid and quinic acid, is one of the most abundant polyphenols in the human diet and possesses anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-oxidant activities. In this context, we investigated the effects of CGA against experimental RE in rats. RE was produced by ligating the transitional region between the forestomach and the glandular portion and covering the duodenum near the pylorus ring with a small piece of catheter. CGA (10, 30 and 100 mg/kg) and omeprazole (positive control, 10 mg/kg) were administered orally 48 h after the RE operation for 12 days. CGA reduced the severity of esophageal lesions, and this beneficial effect was confirmed by histopathological observations. CGA reduced esophageal lipid peroxidation and increased the reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio. CGA attenuated increases in the serum level of tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, and expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 protein. CGA alleviates RE-induced mucosal injury, and this protection is associated with reduced oxidative stress and the anti-inflammatory properties of CGA.

The antioxidant properties of Eriobotrya japonica leaf extract were investigated using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assay. The 80% ethanol extract of leaves ($IC_{50}$ values for DPPH and ABTS were 13.9 and $10.9{\mu}g/mL$, respectively) and young leaves ($IC_{50}$ values for DPPH and ABTS were 20.7 and $17.3{\mu}g/mL$, respectively) showed high radical scavenging activity. Additionally, the quantitative method for estimation of ellagic acid and chlorogenic acid from E. japonica leaves was optimized by HPLC/DAD. This method showed high linearity of the calibration curve with a coefficient of correlation ($R^2$) equal to 0.999. The LOD values for ellagic acid and chlorogenic acid were 2.35 and $0.73{\mu}g/mL$, respectively, whereas LOQ values were 7.13 and $2.22{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Recovery of the two compounds was 99.7-108.0% with RSD values less than 5.31%. These results suggest that 80% ethanol extract of E. japonica leaves could serve as a potential source of natural antioxidant for us in various industrial applications.
