Role of Anthocyanidin Reductase, Encoded by BANYULS in Plant Flavonoid Biosynthesis
TLDR
It is shown that the BANYULS(BAN) genes from Arabidopsis thaliana and Chicago truncatula encode anthocyanidin reductase, which converts anthocianidins to their corresponding 2,3-cis-flavan-3-ols.
Circular dichroism, a powerful tool for the assessment of absolute configuration of flavonoids.
Molecular and Biochemical Analysis of Two cDNA Clones Encoding Dihydroflavonol-4-Reductase from Medicago truncatula1
TLDR
Two recombinant DFR proteins very efficiently reduced 5-deoxydihydroflavonol substrates fustin and dihydrorobinetin, substances not previously reported as constituents of M. truncatula.
Antioxidant, antimalarial and antimicrobial activities of tannin-rich fractions, ellagitannins and phenolic acids from Punica granatum L.
TLDR
A beneficial effect from the daily intake of POMx and pomegranate juice (PJ) as dietary supplements to augment the human immune system's antioxidant, antimalarial and antimicrobial capacities is suggested.
Pomegranate phenolics from the peels, arils, and flowers are antiatherogenic: studies in vivo in atherosclerotic apolipoprotein e-deficient (E 0) mice and in vitro in cultured macrophages and…
We have analyzed in vivo and in vitro the antiatherogenic properties and mechanisms of action of all pomegranate fruit parts: peels (POMxl, POMxp), arils (POMa), seeds (POMo), and flowers (POMf), in…
Phenolic metabolites from rooibos tea (Aspalathus linearis)
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG): chemical and biomedical perspectives.
The influence of pomegranate by-product and punicalagins on selected groups of human intestinal microbiota.
The effect of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) byproducts and ellagitannins on the growth of human gut bacteria.
TLDR
The results showed that pomegranate byproducts and punicalagins inhibited the growth of pathogenic clostridia and Staphyloccocus aureus, while relatively small growth inhibition by ellagic acid likely resulted from decreasing media quality due to the formation of tannin-protein complexes.
Colon cancer chemopreventive activities of pomegranate ellagitannins and urolithins.
TLDR
The results indicate that the ellagitannins and urolithins released in the colon upon consumption of pomegranate juice in considerable amounts could potentially curtail the risk of colon cancer development, by inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis.
