3,5-Dicaffeoyl-epi-quinic acid can be extracted from Chrysanthemum morifolium. 3,5-Dicaffeoyl-epi-quinic acid has antioxidant activities. 3,5-Dicaffeoyl-epi-quinic acid can scavenge DPPH radical and superoxide anion radical, with IC50s of 5.6 and 2.9 μg/mL respectively[1].
ChEBI: 3,5-di-O-caffeoyl quinic acid is a carboxylic ester that is the diester obtained by the condensation of the hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 5 of (-)-quinic acid with the carboxy group of trans-caffeic acid. Isolated from Brazilian propolis and Suaeda glauca, it exhibits hepatoprotective and cytotoxic activities. It has a role as a metabolite, a hepatoprotective agent and an antineoplastic agent. It is a cyclitol carboxylic acid and a carboxylic ester. It is functionally related to a (-)-quinic acid and a trans-caffeic acid.
