Chlorogenic Acid a Potent Anti-inflammatory Agent: In-Silico Molecular Docking approach

Abstract: Chlorogenic acid (5-O-caffeoylquinic acid) is a phenolic compound of the hydroxycinnamic acid family. This polyphenol has many health-enhancing properties, most of which are relevant for the treatment of metabolic syndrome, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antilipidemic, antidiabetic, and antihypertensive effects. In addition, chlorogenic acid has antioxidant properties, especially against lipid oxidation. Protective properties against degradation and prebiotic activity of other bioactive compounds present in foods.

In addition, chlorogenic acid has antioxidant properties, especially against lipid oxidation. Protective properties against degradation of other bioactive compounds present in food and prebiotic activity. Methods: Molecular docking of COX2, NF-κB inducing kinase (NIK) & PhospholipaseA2 (PLA2) with chlorogenic acid was carried out by AutoDock. Result: The molecular docking result revealed that chlorogenic acid showed encouraging docking score. The docking score found to be -6.71, -6.31 & -4.43 kcal mol–1 respectively.
