CAS 62218-13-7: α-Viniferin

α-Viniferin known as 2-arylbenzofuran flavonoids, that are inhibitors of prostaglandin H2 synthetase. α-Viniferin has anti-Alzheimer's disease, anti-tuberculosis, anti-tumor, anti-inflammation, anti-diabetes and other pharmacological activitie

±-Viniferin is a stilbenoid compound, which is a type of oligomer derived from the natural phytoalexin resveratrol. It is sourced mainly from grapevines, particularly in the bark, roots, and leaves of Vitis vinifera. Its biosynthesis occurs as a defense response mechanism in plants when under stress from pathogens or environmental conditions. The mode of action of ±-Viniferin involves its ability to scavenger free radicals and inhibit inflammatory pathways. It exerts its effects through modulation of various signaling molecules and enzymes involved in oxidative stress and inflammation. This action is imparted by its structural configuration, which allows it to interact effectively with biological pathways. Utilized predominantly in research, ±-Viniferin is explored for its potential therapeutic benefits, particularly in its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities. It holds promise in the development of treatments for oxidative stress-related conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular issues, and various inflammatory disorders. Furthermore, its role in plant defense mechanisms highlights its potential applications in agriculture for enhancing disease resistance in crops.
