Punicalagin promotes autophagy to protect primary human syncytiotrophoblasts from apoptosis [PDF]
REPRODUCTION, 2016 Punicalagin is a prominent polyphenol in pomegranate juice that protects cultured syncytiotrophoblasts from stress-induced apoptosis. Here, we test the hypothesis that punicalagin has this effect by inhibiting the mTOR kinase pathway to enhance autophagic turnover and limit apoptosis in cultured primary human syncytiotrophoblasts.

Punicalagin Inhibits Salmonella Virulence Factors and Has Anti-Quorum-Sensing Potential [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2014 ABSTRACT Punicalagin, an essential component of pomegranate rind, has been demonstrated to possess antimicrobial activity against several food-borne pathogens, but its activity on the virulence of pathogens and its anti-quorum-sensing (anti-QS) potential have been rarely reported.
