Chlorogenic acids in cardiovascular disease: a review of pharmacology and pharmacokinetics

L Li et al, 2020. Chlorogenic acids in cardiovascular disease: a review of pharmacology and pharmacokinetics, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, published online.

ABSTRACT:

Chlorogenic acids (CGAs) have gained considerable attention as pervasive human dietary constituents with potential cardiovascular-preserving effects. The main sources include coffee, yerba mate, Eucommia ulmodies leaves, and Lonicerae Japonicae Flos. CGAs consumption can reduce the risks of hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and other factors associated with cardiovascular risk, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. This review recapitulates recent advances of CGAs in the cardiovascular-preserving effects, pharmacokinetics, sources and safety. Emerging evidence indicates that CGAs exhibit circulatory guarding properties through the suppression of oxidative stress, leukocyte infiltration, platelet aggregation, platelet-leukocyte interactions, vascular remodeling, and apoptosis as well as the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, and vasodilatory action in the cardiovascular system. CGAs exert these effects by acting on complex signaling networks, but the global mechanisms are still not clear. The oral bioavailability of CGA is poor and there is a potential sensitization concern about CGA. The bioactive metabolites, systematic toxicity, and optimized structure are needed to further identify.
