Application Notes

Caffeic acid is a common plant metabolite, found in barley and rye, biosynthetically formed by hydrolysis of chlorogenic acid. Caffeic acid is a member of the phenylpropanoid class of lignin biosynthetic precursors. The biochemical and pharmacological activity of caffeic acid has > 20,000 SciFinder entries and the area is well reviewed by Guzman (2014) and Sharma (2011). Caffeic acid a useful standard for analytical and bioassay dereplication as a metabolite commonly encountered in microbial fermentations.
