In Traditional Chinese medicine, Honey suckle flowers are among the important herbs for clearing away heat and relieving "fire toxicity".
Recent studies showed this substance has antivira, antibacterial and antifunga effects with relatively low toxicity and side effects, alongside properties that do not lead antimicrobial resistance.
Chlorogenic acid has been proven
in vitro to inhibit the
hydrolysis of the glucose-6-phosphate enzyme in an irreversible fashion, reduce
hepatic glycogenolysis (transformation of glycogen into glucose) and to reduce the absorption of new
glucose.
Chlorogenic acid is marketed under the tradename Svetol® in Norway and UK as a food active ingredient used in coffee, chewing gum, and mints to promote weight reduction. Potential uses are also suggested in pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, feed additives, and cosmetics.
