L-Chicoric Acid

Description: L-Chicoric Acid (trans-Caffeoyltartaric acid) has been shown to inhibit hyaluronidase and HIV-1 integrase, and to possess phagoeytosis stimulatory activity in vitro and in vivo and antiviral acitivy. L-Chicoric acid may reduce acute alcohol-induced steatosis in mice through interfering with the induction of iNOS and iNOS-dependent signaling cascades in the liver. 3. L-Chicoric acid inhibited cell viability and induced apoptosis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes which was characterized by chromatin condensation and poly ADP-ribose-polymerase (PARP) cleavage. Target: HIV Protease, Others. Smiles: OC(=O)C(OC(=O)C=Cc1ccc(O)c(O)c1)C(OC(=O)C=Cc1ccc(O)c(O)c1)C(O)=O. References: Xiao H , Wang J , Yuan L , et al.
