Caffeic anhydride

CAS: 854237-32-4

Caffeic anhydride is a synthetic compound that acts as a derivative of caffeic acid. It is primarily sourced from laboratory synthesis techniques involving chemical modifications of natural hydroxycinnamic acids. This modification confers distinct properties, particularly in the realm of oxidation processes. The mode of action for caffeic anhydride involves its capability as an antioxidant, whereby it can mitigate oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative damage at the cellular level.
