Anthocyanins—Nature’s Bold, Beautiful, and Health-Promoting Colors
Anthocyanins are among the most interesting and vigorously studied plant compounds, representing a large class of over 700 polyphenolic pigments within the flavonoid family that exist ubiquitously in the human diet. They are “nature’s colors,&

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).

Anti‐inflammatory activity of cyanidin‐3‐O‐glucoside and cyanidin‐3‐O‐glucoside liposomes in THP‐1 macrophages [PDF]
AbstractCyanidin‐3‐O‐glucoside (C3G) is a kind of water‐soluble pigment widely existing in many plants. It has strong antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activities. However, C3G cannot exist stably for a long time because of the phenolic hydroxyl groups in its structure.
