Afzelechin
Afzelechin is a tetrahydroxyflavan that is (2S)-flavan substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 3, 5, 7 and 4 respectively. It has a role as a plant metabolite and an EC 3.2.1.20 (alpha-glucosidase) inhibitor. It is a tetrahydroxyflavan and a catechin. It derives from a hydride of a (2S)-flavan. Afzelechin is a natural product found in Cassipourea gummiflua, Bergenia ligulata, and other organisms with data available. A tetrahydroxyflavan that is (2S)-flavan substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 3, 5, 7 and 4 respectively.
Rhein
Rhein appears as yellow needles (from methanol) or yellow-brown powder. (NTP, 1992) Rhein is a dihydroxyanthraquinone. Rhein is an anthraquinone metabolite of rheinanthrone and senna glycoside is present in many medicinal plants including Rheum palmatum, Cassia tora, Polygonum multiflorum, and Aloe barbadensis. It is known to have hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and several other protective effects. Rhein is a natural product found in Cassia renigera, Rheum compactum, and other organisms with data available. Present in Rheum palmatum (Chinese rhubarb). Rhein is found in dock, green vegetables, and garden rhubarb. Rhein is found in dock. Rhein is present in Rheum palmatum (Chinese rhubarb D004791 - Enzyme Inhibitors KEIO_ID R037
(-)-Epiafzelechin
(-)-Epiafzelechin is found in fruits. (-)-Epiafzelechin is a constituent of Actinidia chinensis (kiwi fruit) and Juniperus communis (juniper) Constituent of Actinidia chinensis (kiwi fruit) and Juniperus communis (juniper). (-)-Epiafzelechin is found in kiwi, tea, and fruits.
Afzelechin
Afzelechin is a flavan-3-ol, a type of flavonoid. It exists as at least 2 major epimers (afzelechin and epi-afzelechin). It is produced through the transformation of cis-3,4lecuopelargonidin through the action of (2R,3S)-catechin:NADP+ 4-oxidoreductase. Afzelechin can be found in many plants native to Asia such as: Astilbe rivularis (also known as waterside astilbe), Bergenia ligulate (also known as Paashaanbhed in Ayurveda traditional Indian medicine), and Wisteria floribunda (Japanese wisteria). Afzelechin also occurs in barley and rye as a member of the proanthocyanidins found in these crop plants. Afzelechin exhibits moderate inhibitory effects on tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) induced nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kB) activation in HepG2 cells (PMID: 21985227). Afzelechin is only found in individuals who have consumed barley/rye or taken certain herbal medicines containing this compound.
(-)-Epiafzelechin
(-)-epiafzelechin is a catechin derivative having (2R,3R)-configuration. It has a role as a plant metabolite. (-)-Epiafzelechin is a natural product found in Bauhinia racemosa, Larix gmelinii, and other organisms with data available. (-)-Epiafzelechin is found in fruits. (-)-Epiafzelechin is a constituent of Actinidia chinensis (kiwi fruit) and Juniperus communis (juniper) Constituent of Actinidia chinensis (kiwi fruit) and Juniperus communis (juniper). (-)-Epiafzelechin is found in kiwi, tea, and fruits. A catechin derivative having (2R,3R)-configuration.
