New antiviral treatments are needed to deal with the unpredictable emergence of viruses. Furthermore, vaccines and antivirals are only available for just a few viral infections, and antiviral drug resistance is an increasing concern.

Human metabolism and elimination of the anthocyanin, cyanidin-3-glucoside: a 13C-tracer study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that the consumption of anthocyanin-rich foods beneficially affects cardiovascular health; however, the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) of anthocyanin-rich foods are relatively unknown. OBJECTIVE:

IR ion spectroscopy in a combined approach with MS/MS and IM-MS to discriminate epimeric anthocyanin glycosides (cyanidin 3-O-glucoside and -galactoside) [PDF]
Anthocyanins are widespread in plants and flowers, being responsible for their different colouring. Two representative members of this family have been selected, cyanidin 3-O-β-glucopyranoside and 3-O-β-galactopyranoside, and probed by mass spectrometry ...

Anthocyanins protect the gastrointestinal tract from high fat diet-induced alterations in redox signaling, barrier integrity and dysbiosis. [PDF]
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract can play a critical role in the development of pathologies associated with overeating, overweight and obesity. We previously observed that supplementation with anthocyanins (AC) (particularly glycosides of cyanidin and ...

Differential Effects of Cyanidin and Cyanidin-3-glucoside on Human Cell Lines
Anthocyanins are pigments in plants. Anthocyanins and their aglycons, anthocyanidins, have various biological effects. In the present study, we examined the effects of cyanidin and cyanidin-3-glucoside on intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and on proliferative effects, using four cancer cell lines and one normal cell line, and we found ...

THERMODYNAMIC AND KINETIC INVESTIGATION OF ANTIRADICAL POTENTIAL OF CYANIDIN [PDF]
In the present paper, M05-2X/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory was used to investigate antiradical activity of cyanidin towards highly damaging radical species (.OH, .OCH3, .OOH and .OOCH3). The applied method successfully reproduces the values of reaction enthalpies (ΔHBDE, ΔHIP, and ΔHPA).

Functional Characterization of an Anthocyanin Dimalonyltransferase in Maize
Anthocyanins are pigments with appealing hues that are currently being used as sources of natural colorants. The interaction of acylation on the stability of anthocyanin molecules has long been known.
