Abstract

Caffeic acid, a phenolic compound of the hydroxycinnamic acid family, is abundant in various plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and coffee, alongside other biologically active compounds. Recognizing its potential to address various health issues and its widespread presence in commonly consumed foods underscores the importance of comprehending and harnessing the benefits of caffeic acid for human nutrition and well-being. This versatile substance, characterized by acrylic and phenolic functional groups, plays a pivotal role in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Furthermore, a detailed exploration of its pharmacokinetic properties, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion enhances our understanding of how the human body processes it. Functioning as a precursor for essential compounds, caffeic acid contributes to formulations with notable anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, antibacterial, neuroprotective, and hepatoprotective qualities. Its current applications in treating Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease underscore its therapeutic significance. This comprehensive analysis sheds light on caffeic acid's importance, showcasing its diverse applications across various domains and paving the way for further research and development to fully unlock its therapeutic potential. In conclusion, caffeic acid emerges as a bioactive substance with a broad spectrum of pharmacological properties, suggesting its potential utility in diverse therapeutic contexts. The comprehensive information provided in this article serves as a foundation for further research and learning regarding the various ways that caffeic acid supports human health.
