Protocatechuic acid is a type of phenolic acid and serves as a precursor for the synthesis of more complex molecules, such as anthocyanin 3-O-β-D-glucoside. It is one of several isomers of dihydroxybenzoic acid. Protocatechuic acid is a major metabolite of antioxidant polyphenols in green tea and exhibits some inhibitory effects on tumor cells. It is widely found in commonly used Chinese herbal medicines, such as Eleutherococcus senticosus, Polygonum hydropiper, and Phyllanthus urinaria.
