This review aimed to explore CA\u2019s pharmacological effects in different pathological conditions, and sources were retrieved by using databases like PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science and based on preclinical studies. CA notably protects cells and tissues from oxidative stress and inflammation, highlighting its therapeutic role in the management of pathogenesis. The neuroprotective, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, anti-microbial, and anti-obesity effects are reported through in vitro and in vivo studies. Moreover, its anticancer effects are linked to modulation of cell signaling pathways, together with angiogenesis, cell cycle, apoptosis, and the PI3K\/Akt pathway. This article explores how caffeic acid influences health conditions, providing a comprehensive overview of its effects on disease processes. Reviewing the literature aims to enhance the understanding of caffeic acid\u2019s role in disease management and as a natural therapeutic agent. Although several studies demonstrate the anticancer effects and its role in the management of various pathological conditions, most of the existing evidence is based on in vitro, in vivo, and xenograft models. Moreover, many natural compounds, including CA, that exhibit activity in preclinical settings fail to translate into clinical applications, due to restrictions of poor bioavailability, toxicity, rapid metabolism, and differences in the tumor microenvironment. Thus, future studies should emphasize well-designed in vivo studies as well as controlled clinical trials to better describe CA\u2019s safety, efficacy, mechanism of action, and therapeutic application in humans. Further investigation of its interactions with other therapeutic agents may offer insights into synergistic effects that enhance treatment efficacy. Overall, a more comprehensive understanding of this compound will be indispensable for its development as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of chronic disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27114719","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,25]],"date-time":"2026-05-25T01:45:08Z","timestamp":1779673508000},"page":"4719","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Caffeic Acid and Human Health: Evidence-Based Roles in Disease Prevention and Treatment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5260-0265","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saleh A.","family":"Almatroodi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratories, College of Applied Medical Sciences, Qassim University, Buraydah 51452, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arshad Husain","family":"Rahmani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratories, College of Applied Medical Sciences, Qassim University, Buraydah 51452, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"86","article-title":"Advances in selected medicinal and aromatic plants indigenous to Africa","volume":"3","author":"Okigbo","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
