Biological Activity

Chicoric acid is an orally active dicaffeoyltartaric acid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic properties. It induces ROS generation and triggers mitochondria-dependent apoptosis inT-L1 preadipocytes via the modulation of PIK/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways. Additionally, chicoric acid enhances glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells and stimulates insulin release, thereby improving insulin sensitivity and ameliorating insulin resistance. [1][2]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
