Neochlorogenic acid

Neochlorogenic acid is a natural polyphenolic compound found in dried fruits and other plants. Neochlorogenic acid inhibits the production of TNF-α and IL-1β. Neochlorogenic acid suppresses iNOS and COX-2 protein expression. Neochlorogenic acid also inhibits phosphorylated NF-κB p65 and p38 MAPK activation. IC50 & Target: NF-κB p65, p38 MAPK, IL-1β, TNF-α, COX-2, iNOS^[1] In Vitro: Neochlorogenic acid (NCA) shows a reduction of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NO production by suppressing iNOS and COX-2 protein expression and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α and IL-1β, in BV2 microglia cells. In addition, phosphorylated p38 MAPK and NF-κB p65 are also inhibited by Neochlorogenic acid in activated microglia. iNOS and COX-2 levels are increased in LPS-induced BV2 cells, but this increase is significantly inhibited after treatment with 50 and 100 μM Neochlorogenic acid^[1].
