Caftaric acid
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Caftaric acid (trans-Caftaric acid) is a polyphenolic antidiuretic, antioxidant and anti-apoptotic agent that can be hydrolyzed by intestinal microbial esterases. Caftaric acid exerts its antioxidant and potential anti-inflammatory effects mainly through intestinal microbial metabolism. Caftaric acid can reduce renal damage, restore electrolyte balance, renal function indicators and antioxidant enzyme activities in a rat albinism model, and further exert anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory activities.

In an in vitro human fecal microbial fermentation experiment, Caftaric acid (1 μmol; 2 h) is rapidly metabolized, and no free caffeic acid or tartaric acid was detected. The main metabolites were 3-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid (3-HPP) and benzoic acid (BA). 3-HPP reached a peak value (0.24 μmol) at 2 hours[1].
In the same experiment, Caftaric acid (1 μmol; 24 h) produces benzoic acid (BA) continuously, accounting for 4-5% of the initial dose at 24 hours[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Caftaric acid (80 mg/kg; ip; once daily; 2 weeks) does not cause obvious renal injury or electrolyte disturbances in normal male albino Sprague Dawley rats[2].
Caftaric acid (40, 80 mg/kg; ip; once before reperfusion) alleviates renal and lung tissue damage in the Wistar rat renal ischemia-reperfusion model by reducing oxidative stress (MDA, MPO, TOS, OSI), inhibiting apoptosis (caspase-3), autophagy (LC3) and inflammation (COX-2)[3].

-
Animal Model:Male albino Sprague Dawley rats (120-130 g, male, 120-130 g) with lead acetate-induced nephrotoxicity[2]
-
Dosage:40 mg/kg, 80 mg/kg
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection, daily for 2 weeks.
-
Result:Caused significant decreases in kidney weight, serum electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride), antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GPx, GSH), and p53 expression, along with increases in urinary volume, renal function markers (urea, creatinine, uric acid), lipid peroxidation (MDA), and bcl-2 expression.
Co-administration dose-dependently reversed these changes, restoring electrolyte balance, renal function, antioxidant capacity, and apoptotic markers, and improving histopathological lesions (reduced necrosis, vacuolar degeneration, and cast formation in renal tubules).
-
Animal Model:Normal male albino Sprague Dawley rats (120-130 g, male, 120-130 g)[2]
-
Dosage:80 mg/kg
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection, daily for 2 weeks.
-
Result:Treatment alone had no significant effect on body weight, food/water intake, serum electrolytes, renal function markers (urea, creatinine, uric acid), kidney weight, or antioxidant/oxidative stress parameters (SOD, GPx, GSH, MDA) compared to the control group.
-
Animal Model:Wistar rats (210±10 g) with renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (1 h renal artery occlusion, 24 h reperfusion)[3]
-
Dosage:40 mg/kg, 80 mg/kg
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection, once 30 min before reperfusion.
-
Result:In the ischemia-reperfusion group, increased oxidant parameters (MDA, MPO, TOS, OSI), while decreased antioxidant parameters (SOD, TAS).
Severe immunopositivity for caspase-3 (apoptosis), LC3 (autophagy), and COX-2 (inflammation) in renal and lung tissues, with histopathological changes including renal necrosis, hyalinization, and lung hyperplasia.
Reduced oxidant levels, enhanced antioxidant capacity, diminished immunopositivity for caspase-3, LC3, and COX-2, and improved histopathological lesions in a dose-dependent manner, with the high dose (80 mg/kg) showing more pronounced effects.
