Synthesis of Caffeoyl-Prolyl-Histidyl-Xaa Derivatives and Evaluation of Their Activities and Stability upon Long-Term Storage

Antioxidants play a critical role in the treatment of degenerative diseases and delaying the aging of dermal tissue. Caffeic acid (CA) is a representative example of the antioxidants found in plants. However, CA is unsuitable for long-term storage because of its poor stability under ambient conditio...

In this study, several caffeoyl-prolyl-histidyl-Xaa-NH<sub>2</sub> derivatives were synthesized and their antioxidative activities evaluated. CA-Pro-His-Asn-NH<sub>2</sub> showed enhanced antioxidative activity and higher structural stability than CA-PH, even after long-term storage. CA-Pro-His-Asn-NH<sub>2</sub> was stable for 3 months, its stability being evaluated by observing the changes in its NMR spectra.
