3-O-Caffeoylshikimic acid
Based on 1 Customer Validation
3-O-Caffeoylshikimic acid is a caffeoylshikimic acid substance and phenolic acid that widely exists in the aerial parts of Equisetum arvense L. and Smilax glabra. During sulfur fumigation processing, 3-O-Caffeoylshikimic acid undergoes chemical transformation to produce 3-O-caffeoylshikimic acid sulfate and 3-O-caffeoylshikimic acid sulfite. At a high concentration (40 μM), 3-O-Caffeoylshikimic acid exhibits cytotoxic activity against human keratinocytes.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
3-O-Caffeoylshikimic acid (compound 9)(40-80 μM; 24 h) is non-cytotoxic to HaCaT human keratinocytes at 40 μM, exhibits cytotoxicity at 80 μM, and does not significantly improve TNFα/IFNγ-induced cell viability reduction at 40 μM[1].
3-O-Caffeoylshikimic acid (40 μM; 2 h pre-treatment, followed by 10 min TNFα/IFNγ stimulation) does not significantly inhibit activation of NF-κB, AP-1 (c-Jun), or STAT1 pro-inflammatory transcription factors in TNFα/IFNγ-stimulated HaCaT human keratinocytes[1].

Protocols

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.
-
Cell Viability Determination by MTT Colorimetric Assay
The following protocol uses the MTT colorimetric assay as a classic literature-established method for assessing cell viability/metabolic activity in cultured mammalian cells. MTT[3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] is reduced by metabolically active cells to a colored formazan product; the amount of formazan is quantified spectrophotometrically and provides an indirect measure of metabolically active viable cells. Importantly, MTT reduction reflects cellular oxidoreductase/metabolic activity rather than an absolute direct count of living cells, so changes in cellular metabolism can alter the signal independently of cell number.
