Chlorogenic acid is a hydroxycinnamic acid, a member of a family of naturally occurring organic compounds. These are esters of polyphenolic caffeic acid and cyclitol (-)-quinic acid.[1] It is an important biosynthetic intermediate.[2] Chlorogenic acid is an important intermediate in lignin biosynthesis. This compound, long known as an antioxidant, also slows the release of glucose into the bloodstream after a meal.[3]

[edit] Chemical properties

Structurally, chlorogenic acid (CGA) is the ester formed between caffeic acid and (L)-quinic acid (1L-1(OH),3,4/5-tetrahydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid).[4]

Isomerisation of the quinic acid in position 3, (3-CQA), 4 (4-CQA) and 5 (5-CQA). Isomerisation at position 1 has not yet been reported.[1] Isomers of chlorogenic acid are found in potatoes. They are 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid (crypto-chlorogenic acid), 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (neo-chlorogenic acid), 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid and 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid.[5]

[edit] Occurrences

Chlorogenic acid can be found in many plants, such as bamboo Phyllostachys edulis[6], as well as many other plants.[7] It is one of the major phenolic compounds identified in peach.[8] It could be involved in the laxative effect observed in prunes.[9] It also is one of the phenols found in coffee. Chlorogenic acid is marketed under the tradename Svetol in Norway and the United Kingdom as a food active ingredient used in coffee, chewing gum, and mints to promote weight reduction.

Chlorogenic acid has been shown in in vitro studies to inhibit the hydrolysis of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase in an irreversible fashion.[citation needed] This mechanism allows chlorogenic acid to reduce hepatic glycogenolysis (transformation of glycogen into glucose) and to reduce the absorption of new glucose.[citation needed] In addition, in vivo studies on animal subjects have demonstrated that the administration of chlorogenic acid lessens the hyperglycemic peak resulting from the glycogenolysis brought about by the administering of glucagon, a hyperglycemiant hormone.[citation needed]
