Preparation, Characterization, and Antioxidative Effects of Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin−l-Cysteine Complexes
摘要:
Controlled acid-catalyzed degradation of proanthocyanidin polymers in grape seeds together with l-cysteine led to oligomeric proanthocyanidin-l-cysteine complexes along with monomeric flavan-3-ol derivatives being isolated, and their structures were confirmed on the basis of spectroscopic data and by chemical means. In addition, comparative studies on the antioxidative and survival effects of oligomeric proanthocyanidin-l-cysteine complexes and proanthocyanidin polymers were performed. The oligomeric proanthocyanidin-l-cysteine complexes showed higher bioavailability and antioxidant capacity and enhanced survival time in the animal test groups. In addition, it is suggested that the oligomeric complexes may help to prevent oxidative stress and may reduce free radical production.

Provided are: method of producing a sulfur-containing proanthocyanidin oligomer by reducing the molecular weight of proanthocyanidin in plants so that they can be readily absorbed through the intestine of an organism; and a health food composition and a pharmaceutical composition which contain the resultant sulfur-containing proanthocyanidin oligomer as an active ingredient and which are useful for treating and preventing various lifestyle-related diseases and brain diseases caused by generation of active oxygen species as well as for preventing aging.
