Description

Phloretic acid is a natural hydroxycinnamic acid found in various plants, including apple, pear, and grape. It has been reported to exhibit diverse biological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic effects. Research into its properties stems from its potential for therapeutic applications. While phloretic acid can be isolated from plant sources, synthetic routes have also been developed, involving condensation reactions of benzaldehyde derivatives with malonic acid or its esters. The compound's antioxidant activity is attributed to its ability to scavenge free radicals and inhibit oxidative stress. Phloretic acid is also known to modulate the activity of enzymes involved in inflammation and glucose metabolism, contributing to its anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties. Ongoing research is focused on understanding its mechanisms of action, exploring its therapeutic potential in various diseases, and developing more efficient methods for its extraction and synthesis.'
