Prodelphinidin B-2 3-O-gallate, a proanthocyanidin gallate isolated from green tea leaf, was investigated for its anti-herpes simplex virus type 2 properties in vitro. Prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate exhibited antiviral activity with IC50 of 5.0 +/-1.0 microM and 1.6 +/-0.3 pM for XTT and plaque reduction (PRA) assays, respectively. Cytotoxicity assay had shown that prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate possessed cytotoxic effect toward Vero cell at concentration higher than its IC50. The 50% cytotoxic concentration for cell growth (CC50) was 33.3 +/- 3.7 microM. Thus, the selectivity index (SI) (ratio of IC50 to CC50) for XTT assay and PRA was 6.7 and 20.8, respectively. Prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate significantly reduced viral infectivity at concentrations 10 microM or more. Result of time-of-addition studies suggested that prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate affected the late stage of HSV-2 infection. In addition, it was also shown to inhibit the virus from attaching and penetrating into the cell. Thus, prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate was concluded to possess antiviral activity with mechanism of inhibiting viral attachment and penetration, and disturbing the late stage of viral infection.

In this study, three pearling fractions, namely bran, dehulled grains and pearled grains, derived from fourteen hulled and one hull-less Greek barley cultivars ( L.), were analyzed for the protein, ash, β-glucan, phenolic compounds and tocols contents. High variations appeared in the bioactive contents across the barley cultivars and fractions as well.

Two new A-type dimeric prodelphinidins, EGC-(2β→O7, 4β→8)-C and EGC-(2β→O5, 4β→6)-C, were isolated from the skins of roasted hazelnut ( Corylus avellana L.) by low-speed rotary countercurrent chromatography (LSRCCC) and final purification by preparative HPLC. Their structures were determined by a combination of mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS(n) and HR-ESI-MS) and NMR spectroscopy that included the application of 2D methods ((1)H-(1)H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY).

The pattern of the monomeric and oligomeric flavan-3-ols for 10 barley varieties and the corresponding malts were identified and quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection-electrospray ion trap mass spectrometry. The Folin-Ciocalteau and the vanillin spectrophotometric assays were used for the assessment of the total polyphenol and total flavan-3-ol content, respectively, and the antioxidant activity was determined as the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity and the ferricyanide reducing power. Catechin and prodelphinidin B3 were respectively the major monomeric and dimeric flavan-3-ols.

Much is known about the bioactive properties of green tea flavan-3-ol. However, very little work has been done to determine the properties of proanthocyanidins, another kind of polyphenols in green tea. In this study, we have investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of tea prodelphinidin B-4 3'-O-gallate (PDG) by demonstrating the inhibitory effects on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated murine macrophage RAW264 cells.

Prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate, a proanthocyanidin gallate isolated from green tea leaf, was investigated for its anti-proliferative activity in human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells. The results showed that prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells with no detectable toxic effects on normal WI-38 cells as measured by the XTT assay. Flow cytometric analysis showed that prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate blocked cell cycle progression in the G0/G1 phase.
