Ellagitannins are a class of polyphenolic compounds found in various plants, particularly in the bark and leaves of trees. They are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which have been studied for their potential health benefits. Ellagitannins are characterized by their unique structure, which includes a central ellagic acid core with attached galloyl groups. This structure contributes to their stability and bioactivity.
One of the most well-known ellagitannins is punicalagin, found in pomegranate juice and seeds. Punicalagin has
Ellagitannins have been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and induce apoptosis, making them a
Derived ellagitannins are compounds that have been modified or synthesized to enhance their bioactivity or stability.
The study of ellagitannins and their derivatives is an active area of research, with ongoing investigations
