The photoinduced structural changes of three polyphenylene-based stilbene dendrimers, G1, G2, and G3, has been studied. They all exhibit fluorescence emission with considerably higher quantum efficiency and longer fluorescence lifetimes compared with the parent stilbene. These dendrimers undergo mutual cis --> trans isomerisation on direct irradiation with 310 nm light at room temperature. In a solvent glass at 77 K, one-way cis --> trans isomerisation was observed for G2. A volume-conserving isomerisation mechanism is presumed to be operating in the cis-to-trans isomerisation of G2 at 77 K.

Resveratrol (Res), a Chinese herbal extract, has demonstrated a remarkable and distinct antitumor effect, characterized by prolonged efficacy and minimal adverse reactions. However, the bioavailability of Res in animals is hindered by limited absorption rates. Therefore, it is crucial to enhance the tumor-targeting ability of resveratrol to optimize cancer treatment outcomes by improving its bioavailability.

Background: Acetylresveratrol (AC-Res), to date, is a powerful stilbene phytoalexin generated organically or as a component of a plant's defensive system, is a significant plant phenolic chemical portion and is investigated as a therapy option for a number of disorders. Owing to its inadequate stabilisation and considerable conformation rigidity, the utility of AC-Res as a medication is limited.
Objective: The current review article outlined the structure of AC-Res, their methods of activity, and the latest technological progress in the administration of these molecules.

Resveratrol is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound exhibiting therapeutic activities. However, the stability can be altered by UV light, pH and changes in temperature. Encapsulation would be an ideal strategy to improve the stability and bioavailability.

Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a polyphenolic compound existing in trees, peanuts and grapes and exhibits a broad spectrum of promising therapeutic activities, but it is unclear whether this entity targets the sites of action after oral administration. applicability of resveratrol has limited success so far, mainly due to its incompetent systemic delivery resulting from its low water solubility, poor bioavailability and short biological half-life. First-pass metabolism and presence of enterohepatic recirculation create doubt on the biological application of high doses typically used for trials.
