3-Feruloylquinic acid (3-FQA) (CAS: 1899-29-2) belongs to the class of organic compounds known as quinic acids and derivatives. Quinic acids and derivatives are compounds containing a quinic acid moiety (or a derivative thereof), which is a cyclitol made up of a cyclohexane ring that bears four hydroxyl groups at positions 1,3.4, and 5, as well as a carboxylic acid at position 1. Coffee, especially green or raw coffee, is a major source of chlorogenic acids (CGA). CGAs have been associated with a range of health benefits including a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes type 2, and Alzheimers disease. Major CGAs in coffee include 3-, 4-, and 5-feruloylquinic acids (PMID: 19022950). 3-FQA has been detected in the plasma and urine of humans who have ingested coffee (PMID: 19460943). 3-FQA is also found in chicory, tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum), and sunflowers (Helianthus annuus). 3-O-feruloyl-D-quinic acid is a quinic acid that is the 3-O-feruloyl derivative of D-quinic acid. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a quinic acid and an enoate ester. It is functionally related to a (-)-quinic acid and a ferulic acid. 3-O-Feruloylquinic acid is a natural product found in Astragalus onobrychis, Astragalus arguricus, and other organisms with data available. 5-feruloylquinic acid, also known as O-feruloylquinate, belongs to quinic acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are compounds containing a quinic acid moiety (or a derivative thereof), which is a cyclitol made up of a cyclohexane ring that bears four hydroxyl groups at positions 1,3.4, and 5, as well as a carboxylic acid at position 1. 5-feruloylquinic acid is slightly soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 5-feruloylquinic acid can be found in a number of food items such as sweet cherry, apricot, redcurrant, and peach (variety), which makes 5-feruloylquinic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. . 3-Feruloylquinic acid, a derivative of quinic acid-bound phenolic acid, shows antioxidant activity. 3-Feruloylquinic acid markedly enhances by high photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and UV irradiances[1][2]. 3-Feruloylquinic acid, a derivative of quinic acid-bound phenolic acid, shows antioxidant activity. 3-Feruloylquinic acid markedly enhances by high photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and UV irradiances[1][2].
