About the compound: | Chicoric acid, also known as cichoric acid, is an organooxygen compound with notable roles as an HIV-1 integrase inhibitor and a geroprotector, functionally related to tetracarboxylic acids. Belonging to the hydroxycinnamic acid class, it's an organic compound within the phenylpropanoid family and is derived from both caffeic and tartaric acids. First isolated from Cichorium intybus (chicory), chicoric acid is also found in significant amounts in Echinacea (particularly E. purpurea), dandelion leaves, basil, lemon balm, and various aquatic plants, including algae and seagrasses. In research studies, chicoric acid has demonstrated the ability to stimulate phagocytosis both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, it inhibits the activity of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid in the human body. Chicoric acid also helps in protecting collagen from damage caused by free radicals and inhibits the function of HIV-1 integrase.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicoric_acid GHS Hazard Statements • H302 (100%): Harmful if swallowed [Warning Acute toxicity, oral] • H317 (100%): May cause an allergic skin reaction [Warning Sensitization, Skin] • H334 (100%): May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled [Danger Sensitization, respiratory] |
