Application

Caftaric acid has been used:as a standard antioxidant to determine the antioxidant potential (AOP) of red wine using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay as an antioxidant together with sulfur dioxide (SO₂) to measure the antioxidant potential of white wines using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and Folin-Ciocalteu (FC) assays to evaluate the myelopoietic effect on bone marrow of rats treated with various Echinacea purpurea extractsto identify (poly)phenolic compounds in concord grape juice and their metabolites in human plasma and urine after juice consumption

Biochem/physiol Actions

Caftaric acid exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects against indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers in rats. It also displays antimutagenicity properties.
