Objective: To study the inhibitory effects of natural caffeoylquinic acid derivates against respiratory syncytial virus( RSV) in vitro and their quantitative structure-activity relationship.
Methods: The anti-RSV activities of caffeoylquinic acid derivates were detected by cytopathic effect( CPE) method,MTT assay was adopted to evaluate the cytotoxicities of caffeoylquinic acid derivates and a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship( 3D-QSAR) model was built.
Results: The caffeoylquinic acid derivates showed different levels of anti-RSV activity. 4,5-d-CQAME( CQA-4) was the most effective anti-RSV compound with IC50 of 2. 5μmol /L,and the SI was greater than 153. 8. Its effect was much better than the positive control drug ribavirin with the IC50 of 8. 3 μmol /L,and SI > 20,respectively. The result of 3D-QSAR study showed that caffeoyl group was important for the anti-RSV activity.
Conclusion: Natural caffeoylquinic acid derivates exhibit anti-RSV activity and dicaffeoylquinic derivates are the most effective anti-RSV compounds. Both configuration and substituent groups have a great influence on the anti-RSV activity.

Chrysanthemi Flos has been consumed as floral tea for centuries, but the effects of stir-frying on its chemical profile, sensory characteristics, and bioactivity remain unclear. This study used untargeted metabolomics, sensory assessment (E-eye, E-nose, E-tongue), and antioxidant activity evaluation to investigate compositional changes and their effects. In the metabolomics analysis, a total of 101 non-volatile and 306 volatile differential metabolites were identified.

The Italian Carciofo di Paestum () PGI, an artichoke variety from the Campania region, was investigated for its potential to reuse by-products for food supplements. EtOH:HO 50:50 and 75:25 extracts of its leaves were analyzed for phenolic and flavonoid content and antioxidant activity (TEAC: 1.90 and 1.

Currently, there is a significant demand for natural biologically active compounds. Emphasis is placed on improving the quality and safety of processed natural products, which is understandable in light of the frequently observed instability of natural compounds and their degradation, among others, to compounds of unknown biological activity. In this paper, the influence of typical conditions of currently used assisted extraction techniques on the stability of 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid and 1,3-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid during their simulated and real extraction from plants was investigated.

Cork oak forests have been declining due to fungal pathogens such as . However, the preventive fungicides against this fungus have restricted use due to the deleterious effects on human health and the environment, prompting the need for sustainable alternatives. Here, we describe the antifungal activity of an aqueous extract of L.
