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.

Brandioside shows strong antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects, it significantly attenuates glutamate-induced neurotoxicity at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 microM; it exhibits significant inhibition of advanced glycation end product formation with the IC50 value of 4.6-25.7 μM.
