using hplc, the seasonal changes in the phenolic compound content of the leaves ofthe gemlik olive cultivar (olea europaea l) has been investigated with respect to theeffects on the alternate bearing of the cultivar. for this purpose, the leaf concentrations ofoleuropein, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, 3-hydroxycinnamic acid, scopolin and pcoumaricacid were analyzed at 10 day intervals around ...

chlorogenic acid, a pharmacologically important compound, is a phenolic compound that occurs in certain commonly used medicinal herbs. we looked for the presence of this compound in the callus cultures of varthemia persica dc (var. persica ). we have evaluated the conditions for establishment of callus cultures of v. persica and the in vitro production of chlorogenic acid. callus was initiated ...

Chlorogenic acid, an ester of caffeic acid and quinic acid, is a major phenolic compound in coffee; daily intake in coffee drinkers is 0.5-1 g. Chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid are antioxidants in vitro and might therefore contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular disease. However, data on the absorption of chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid in humans are lacking. We determined the absorpt...

The present study reveals the pharmacological effect of chlorogenic acid, a major phenolic compound in plants, food, and coffee, on diabetic cataracts. Chlorogenic acid examined the inhibitory effects upon rat lens aldose reductase (AR) activity and xylose-induced rat lens opacity. The effect of chlorogenic acid on high glucose-induced cytotoxicity in lens epithelial cells was also examined. Ch...

Electrospun nanofibers have gathered more consideration in worldwide to deliver the bioactive agents in a sustained manner for biomedical applications. In this study, chlorogenic acid loaded polycaprolactone nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning process and the average fiber diameters were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy analysis. Further, Fourier transform infrared spectros...

We looked for the presence of this compound in the callus cultures of Varthemia persica DC (var. persica). We have evaluated the conditions for establishment of callus cultures of V. persica and the in vitro production of chlorogenic acid. Callus was initiated b...

Chlorogenic acid is a polyphenol compound, derived from several fruit and plants. The aim of this study was to assess the in vitro antifungal activity of chlorogenic acid and its mode of action. The results indicate that chlorogenic acid exhibits antifungal activities against certain pathogenic fungi in an energy-independent manner, without any hemolytic effect on human erythrocytes. To elucida...

The rates of oxidation of adenosine and chlorogenic acid by tert-butoxyl radicals (t-BuO) were studied by measuring the absorbance of adenosine at 260 nm and chlorogenic acid at 328 nm spectrophotometrically. t-BuO radicals were generated by the photolysis of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) in presence of tert-butyl alcohol to scavenge OH radicals. The rates and the quantum yields (phi) of o...

BACKGROUND Expression of cell adhesion molecules (CAM) on the endothelium and the attachment of monocytes to endothelium may play a major role in the early atherogenic process. Chlorogenic acid is a phenolic compound present in coffee, apples, pears, berries, almonds, artichokes, and aubergines. Previous studies have indicated that CA possesses antioxidant activity in vitro. AIM We investigat...
