Protocatechuic acid (PCA) is a dihydroxybenzoic acid phenolic compound found in many edible and medicinal plants. It is a major metabolite of antioxidant polyphenols found in green tea and demonstrates free radical scavenging capability in a 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity assay (IC50 = 16.3 ?M).{23837,23838} It is thought to possess anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, neuroprotective, and anticancer activities. Dietary administration of PCA dose dependently inhibits in vitro chemical carcinogenesis and exerts pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects in different tissues.{23839} In studies of tumor cell migration and invasion using mouse melanoma B16/F10 cells, PCA at 0.1-2 mM down-regulated the Ras/Akt/NF-?B pathway by targeting RhoB activation, leading to a reduction of MMP-mediated activity.{23836}
