“…The most widely occurring chlorogenic acid in dietary plants and medicinal herbs is 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid [(1S,3R,4R,5R)-3-{[(2Z)-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]oxy}-1,4,5-trihydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid; 5-CQA] (Clifford, 2000). It has received much attention in recent years due to its multiple pharmacological properties, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, antipyretic, and anticarcinogenic effects (Shibata et al, 1999;Jiang et al, 2000;dos Santos et al, 2006). Some Chinese herbal injections, such as Shuang-Huang-Lian, Yin-ZhiHuang, Qing-Kai-Ling, Mai-Luo-Ning, and Xiao-Ai-Ping, are widely used in China to treat common colds, upper respiratory tract infections, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer.…”
