The Flavonoid Molecule Procyanidin Reduces Phase Separation in Model Membranes

Membranes, 2022
Procyanidin extracted from fruits, such as apples, has been shown to improve lipid metabolization. Recently, studies have revealed that procyanidin interacts with lipid molecules in membranes to enhance lipid metabolism; however, direct evidence of the ...

Skin Anti-Aging Potentials of Phytochemicals from Peperomia pellucida against Selected Metalloproteinase Targets: An In Silico Approach

Cosmetics, 2023
Skin aging and wrinkle formation are processes that are largely influenced by the overexpression of enzymes like tyrosinase, elastase, and collagenase. This study aimed to validate the skin anti-aging properties of phytochemicals from Peperomia pellucida

Mechanisms of endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation induced by procyanidin B2 in venous bypass graft

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2020
Cardioprotective abilities of procyanidins, might, at least in part, attribute to their vasodilator properties. The present study was undertaken to assess the vasorelaxant effect of procyanidin B2 on isolated human saphenous vein (HSV) and its underlying

Procyanidin B2 ameliorates endothelial dysfunction and impaired angiogenesis via the Nrf2/PPARγ/sFlt-1 axis in preeclampsia

Pharmacological Research, 2022
Preeclampsia is a severe complication of pregnancy characterised by variable degrees of placental malperfusion. A growing body of evidence indicates that soluble endoglin and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) play important pathophysiological ...

Catechins and Procyanidins of Ginkgo biloba Show Potent Activities towards the Inhibition of β-Amyloid Peptide Aggregation and Destabilization of Preformed Fibrils

Molecules, 2014
Catechins and procyanidins, together with flavonoid glycosides and terpene trilactones, are three important categories of components in the standard extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves (EGb761). In this research, catechins and proanthocyanidins were found to

Phenylpropanoid-substituted Procyanidins and Tentatively Identified Procyanidin Glycosides from Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) [PDF]

Planta Medica, 2012
The rational use of hawthorn leafs and flowers from Crataegus spp. for declining cardiac performance is mainly due to flavon-C-glycosides and oligomeric procyanidins (OPC). From OPC-enriched extracts from different batches, a dimeric phenylpropanoid-substituted procyanidin (cinchonain II b, 1) was isolated and characterized by MS, CD, and NMR. Also the
