TTAS a new stilbene derivative that induces apoptosis in Leishmania infantum. [PDF]
Leishmania parasites are able to undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death), similarly to mammalian cells. Recently it was demonstrated in vitro the anti-leishmanial effect of some natural and synthetic stilbenoids including resveratrol and piceatannol ...

Piceatannol exhibits anti‐inflammatory effects on macrophages interacting with adipocytes [PDF]
AbstractPiceatannol (PIC), a natural analog of resveratrol (RES), is a phytochemical found in passion fruit seeds. To clarify the effects of PIC on obesity‐induced inflammation in adipose tissue, we investigated the anti‐inflammatory activity of PIC‐related compounds (PIC, RES, and metabolites from PIC) in culture models of obese adipose tissue ...

ABSTRACT This study investigates the chemical components of Youjing Granules (YG) and identifies blood‐absorbed components in rat serum following YG administration via gavage. Chemical components and blood‐absorbed components of YG were analysed and identified using ultra‐high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with hybrid quadrupole‐orbitrap ...

In vitro antileishmanial activity of trans-stilbene and terphenyl compounds [PDF]
Leishmaniasis are globally widespread parasitic diseases which often leads to death if left untreated. Currently available drugs present different drawbacks, so there is an urgent need to develop new, safe and cost-effective drugs against leishmaniasis ...

Piceatannol inhibits mast cell-mediated allergic inflammation
Piceatannol is a phenolic stilbenoid and a metabolite of resveratrol which is found in red wine. Piceatannol (PIC) commonly exhibits anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet and antiproliferative activity. In the present study, the anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory mechanisms of PIC were investigated by examining the effects of PIC on pro‑inflammatory ...

Physiological roles of lignins – tuning cell wall hygroscopy and biomechanics
Summary Lignins constitute the second most abundant carbon‐storing biopolymers in the biosphere. These phenolic polymers accumulate in different concentrations, compositions, and localisations within and between cell wall layers and cell types. Lignins were acquired during plant terrestrialisation 450 million years ago, and the diversification of their
