Chlorogenic Acid

Molecular classification
Polyphenol, Ester, Secondary Metabolite
01

Overview

Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound, specifically an ester formed between caffeic acid and quinic acid. It exhibits a wide range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, metabolic regulation, and neuroprotective effects. It is found in various plant sources such as green coffee beans, honeysuckle, and potatoes. CGA has potential therapeutic applications against chronic metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and skin diseases.
