Cynarin, also known as 1,3-dicaffeoylquinic acid, is a polyphenolic compound primarily found in artichoke (Cynara scolymus) leaves. It belongs to the class of caffeoylquinic acids and exhibits antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and choleretic properties. Used traditionally for liver support and cholesterol management, it acts by inhibiting cholesterol synthesis and promoting bile secretion. The compound features two caffeic acid moieties esterified to quinic acid, contributing to its bioactivity in modulating lipid metabolism and providing anti-inflammatory effects in various studies.
