5-O-Coumaroylquinic acid has a considerable inhibitory effect on PTP1B.5-O-Coumaroylquinic acid( 3-O-Coumaroylquinic acid) shows a significant concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase, so it has anti-hyperglycemic effect.5-O-Coumaroylquinic acid(3-O-Coumaroylquinine acid) enhances glucose uptake and inhibits PTP1B in vitro.

Carpachromene could be a potential anti-inflammatory agent, it blocks protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in LPS-stimulated macrophages.Carpachromene shows significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activity.
