'''Caffeoylquinic acids''' ('''CQA''') are compounds composed of a [[quinic acid]] core, [[acylated]] with one or more [[Caffeic acid|caffeoyl group]]s. There is a positive correlation between the number of caffeoyl groups bound to quinic acid and the rate of ATP production.<ref>{{Cite journal|author1=Miyamae, Y. |author2=Kurisu, M. |author3=Han, J. |author4=Isoda, H. |author5=Shigemori, H. |year=2011|title=Structure–Activity Relationship of Caffeoylquinic Acids on the Accelerating Activity on ATP Production|url=https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/cpb/59/4/59_4_502/_pdf|journal=Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin|volume=59 |issue=4|pages=502–507|pmid=21467684}}</ref> Compounds of this class include: * [[Chlorogenic acid]] (3-''O''-caffeoylquinic acid or 3-CQA) * [[4-O-caffeoylquinic acid|4-''O''-caffeoylquinic acid]] (crypto-chlorogenic acid or 4-CQA) * [[5-O-caffeoylquinic acid|5-''O''-caffeoylquinic acid]] (neo-chlorogenic acid or 5-CQA) * [[1,5-diCQA]] * [[3,4-diCQA]] * [[3,5-diCQA]] * [[4,5-diCQA]]
