El ácido cafeico es un compuesto orgánico que se clasifica como ácido hidroxicinámico . Este sólido amarillo consta de grupos funcionales fenólicos y acrílicos . Se encuentra en todas las plantas porque es un intermedio clave en la biosíntesis de la lignina , uno de los principales componentes de la biomasa vegetal leñosa y sus residuos. [2]

Acontecimientos naturales [ editar ]

El ácido cafeico se puede encontrar en la corteza de Eucalyptus globulus [3], el grano de cebada Hordeum vulgare y la hierba Dipsacus asperoides . [4] También se puede encontrar en el helecho de agua dulce Salvinia molesta [5] y en el hongo Phellinus linteus . [6]

Apariciones en alimentos [ editar ]

El ácido cafeico se encuentra en un nivel muy modesto en el café , a 0.03 mg por 100 ml. [7] que es uno de los principales naturales fenoles en el aceite de argán . [ cita requerida ]

Se encuentra en un alto nivel en algunas hierbas, especialmente el tomillo , la salvia y la menta verde (alrededor de 20 mg por 100 g), en niveles altos en especias, especialmente la canela de Ceilán y el anís estrellado (alrededor de 22 mg por 100 g). en niveles bastante altos en semillas de girasol (8 mg por 100 g) y en niveles modestos en vino tinto (1,88 mg por 100 ml) y en salsa de manzana , albaricoques y ciruelas pasas (alrededor de 1 mg por 100 g). Ocurre en niveles altos en chokeberry negro (141 mg por 100 g) y en niveles bastante altos en arándano rojo (6 mg por 100 g). [7] It is also quite high in the South American herb yerba mate (150 mg per 100 g based on thin layer chromatography densiometry [8] and HPLC [9]).

It is also found in barley grain,[10] and in rye grain.[7]

Metabolism[edit]

Biosynthesis[edit]

Caffeic acid, which is unrelated to caffeine, is biosynthesized by hydroxylation of coumaroyl ester of quinic acid (esterified through a side chain alcohol). This hydroxylation produces the caffeic acid ester of shikimic acid, which converts to chlorogenic acid. It is the precursor to ferulic acid, coniferyl alcohol, and sinapyl alcohol, all of which are significant building blocks in lignin.[2] The transformation to ferulic acid is catalyzed by the enzyme caffeate O-methyltransferase.

Caffeic acid and its derivative caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) are produced in many kinds of plants.[11][12][13]

In plants, caffeic acid (middle) is formed from 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (left) and is transformed to ferulic acid.

Dihydroxyphenylalanine ammonia-lyase was presumed to use 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (L-DOPA) to produce trans-caffeate and NH3. However, the EC number for this purported enzyme was deleted in 2007, as no evidence has emerged for its existence.[14]

Biotransformation[edit]

Caffeate O-methyltransferase is an enzyme responsible for the transformation of caffeic acid into ferulic acid.

Caffeic acid and related o-diphenols are rapidly oxidized by o-diphenol oxidases in tissue extracts.[15]

Biodegradation[edit]

Caffeate 3,4-dioxygenase is an enzyme that uses caffeic acid and oxygen to produce 3-(2-carboxyethenyl)-cis,cis-muconate.

Glycosides[edit]

3-O-caffeoylshikimic acid (dactylifric acid) and its isomers, are enzymic browning substrates found in dates (Phoenix dactylifera fruits).[16]

Pharmacology[edit]

Caffeic acid has a variety of potential pharmacological effects in in vitro studies and in animal models, and the inhibitory effect of caffeic acid on cancer cell proliferation by an oxidative mechanism in the human HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cell line has recently been established.[17]

Caffeic acid is an antioxidant in vitro and also in vivo.[13] Caffeic acid also shows immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activity. Caffeic acid outperformed the other antioxidants, reducing aflatoxin production by more than 95 percent. The studies are the first to show that oxidative stress that would otherwise trigger or enhance Aspergillus flavus aflatoxin production can be stymied by caffeic acid. This opens the door to use as a natural fungicide by supplementing trees with antioxidants.[18]

Studies of the carcinogenicity of caffeic acid have mixed results. Some studies have shown that it inhibits carcinogenesis, and other experiments show carcinogenic effects.[19] Oral administration of high doses of caffeic acid in rats has caused stomach papillomas.[19] In the same study, high doses of combined antioxidants, including caffeic acid, showed a significant decrease in growth of colon tumors in those same rats. No significant effect was noted otherwise. Caffeic acid is listed under some Hazard Data sheets as a potential carcinogen,[20] as has been listed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a Group 2B carcinogen ("possibly carcinogenic to humans").[21] More recent data show that bacteria in the rats' guts may alter the formation of metabolites of caffeic acid.[22][23] Other than caffeic acid being a thiamine antagonist (antithiamine factor), there have been no known ill effects of caffeic acid in humans. Also, caffeic acid treatment attenuated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sickness behaviour in experimental animals by decreasing both peripheral and central cytokine levels along with oxidative stress inflicted by LPS.[24]

Chemistry[edit]

Caffeic acid is susceptible to autoxidation. With transition metals, it forms transition metal-carboxylate complexes, but not salts. Glutathione and thiol compounds (cysteine, thioglycolic acid or thiocresol) or ascorbic acid have a protective effect on browning and disappearance of caffeic acid.[25] This browning is due to the conversion of o-diphenols into reactive o-quinones. Chemical oxidation of caffeic acid in acidic conditions using sodium periodate leads to the formation of dimers with a furan structure (isomers of 2,5-(3′,4′-dihydroxyphenyl)tetrahydrofuran 3,4-dicarboxylic acid).[26] Caffeic acid can also be polymerized using the horseradish peroxidase/H2O2 oxidizing system.[27]

Other uses[edit]

Caffeic acid may be the active ingredient in caffenol, a do-it-yourself black-and-white photographic developer made from instant coffee.[28] The developing chemistry is similar to that of catechol or pyrogallol.[29]

It is also used as a matrix in MALDI mass spectrometry analyses.[30]

Isomers[edit]

Isomers with the same molecular formula and in the hydroxycinammic acids family are:

  • Umbellic acid (2,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid)
  • 2,3-Dihydroxycinnamic acid
  • 2,5-Dihydroxycinnamic acid
