Malvidin 3-galactoside (BioDeep_00000035531)

描述信息

Malvidin 3-galactoside is found in american cranberry. Malvidin 3-galactoside is isolated from many plant species including Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) and Vaccinium corymbosum (blueberry) Malvidin (Mv) is an anthocyanidin. As a primary plant pigment, its glycosides are highly abundant in nature. It is primarily responsible for the color of red wine, Vitis vinifera being one of its sources. It is also one of the anthocyanidins responsible for the blue pigment found in the Primula polyanthus plant. Malvidin is an anthocyanin. Anthocyanins are pigments that give color red to red grape (Vitis vinifera) varieties, and blood oranges (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck). (PMID: 15563216, 17425943); Anthocyanins have potentially chemopreventive activity, apart from its antioxidant activity. (PMID: 16080535); Numerous classes of grape anthocyanins are transferred to the wine and confer taste and color to the beverage. (PMID: 15954164); Anthocyanins are water soluble pigments belonging to the flavonoids compound family involved in nature in a wide range of functions such as flowers, fruits, and seeds pigmentation to attract pollinators, to disperse seeds, to protect against UV light damage, and in plant defense to protect against pathogen attack. Because anthocyanins impart much of the color and flavor of fruits and vegetables, they are usually components of the human diet and are not only considered exclusively as food products but also as therapeutic agents; in fact, anthocyanins have been suggested to protect against oxidative stress, coronary heart diseases, certain cancers, and other age-related diseases. At least part of these presumed health-promoting features can be attributed to the antioxidant properties of these compounds whose chemical structure appears ideal for free radical scavenging.
