Metabolite Identification
Common Name3,4-Dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid
Description3,4-Dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid, also known as dihydrocaffeic acid (DHCA), is a metabolite product of the hydrogenation of caffeoylquinic acids, occurring in normal human biofluids, with potent antioxidant properties. DHCA has been detected in human plasma following coffee ingestion (PMID: 15607645 ) and is increased with some dietary sources, such as after ingestion of phenolic constituents of artichoke leaf extract (PMID: 15693705 ). Polyphenol-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits have been shown to significantly improve platelet function in ex vivo studies in humans (PMID: 16038718 ). Its antioxidant activity has been tested to reduce ferric iron in the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, and it has been suggested that its catechol structure conveys the antioxidant effect in plasma and in erythrocytes (PMID: 11768243 ). 3,4-Dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid is a microbial metabolite found in Bifidobacterium, Escherichia, Lactobacillus, and Clostridium (PMID: 28393285 ).
