General description
A phenolic product found in both grape skin and wines. Has anti-fungal, anti-tumor and antioxidative properties. A specific inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1; ED50 = 15 µM). Also inhibits the hydroxyperoxidase activity of COX-1 (ED50 = 3.7 µM). Inhibits phorbol ester-induced free radical formation in HL-60 cells (ED50 = 27 µM) and acts as an anti-mutagenic agent (ED50 = 15 µM) in TM677 cells treated with DMBA. Also selectively inhibits P450 1A1. Reported to activate sirtuins and promote the survival of eukaryotic cells.

Also inhibits the hydroxyperoxidase activity of COX-1 (ED50 = 3.7 µM). Strongly inhibits insoluble transthyretin (TTR) amyloid fibril formation. Inhibits phorbol ester-induced free radical formation in HL-60 cells (ED50 = 27 µM) and acts as an anti-mutagenic agent (ED50 = 15 µM) in TM677 cells treated with DMBA.
