Tannins of Constant Structure in Medicinal and Food Plants—Hydrolyzable Tannins and Polyphenols Related to Tannins
In addition to the commonly used classification as hydrolyzable tannins and condensed tannins, tannins can also be categorized into two other types: polyphenols of constant chemical structure (Type A) and polyphenols of variable composition (Type B). Both types of tannins and related polyphenols account for a large part of plant polyphenols, but accurate structure-activity correlations on a mol...
متن کاملNutritional toxicology of tannins and related polyphenols in forage legumes.
Proanthocyanidins (PA) (condensed tannins) and hydrolyzable tannins (HT) are the two major classes of tannins. Proanthocyanidins are flavonoid polymers. Hydrolyzable tannins are polymers of gallic or ellagic acid esterified to a core molecule, commonly glucose or a polyphenol such as catechin. Proanthocyanidins are the most common type of tannin found in forage legumes. Problems in the analysis...
متن کاملTannins and related polyphenols of melastomataceous plants. VIII. Nobotanins L, M and N, trimeric hydrolyzable tannins from Tibouchina semidecandra.
Three hydrolyzable tannins, nobotannins L, M and N, were isolated from the water-soluble portion of the leaf extract of Tibouchina semidecandra, and their trimeric structures were elucidated from spectral and chemical evidence. Nobotanins L and N exist as equilibrium mixtures of four anomers due to the presence of two unacylated anomeric centers.
متن کاملTannins, Peptic Ulcers and Related Mechanisms
This review of the current literature aims to study correlations between the chemical structure and gastric anti-ulcer activity of tannins. Tannins are used in medicine primarily because of their astringent properties. These properties are due to the fact that tannins react with the tissue proteins with which they come into contact. In gastric ulcers, this tannin-protein complex layer protects ...
متن کاملTannins: classification and definition.
The name ‘tannin’ is derived from the French ‘tanin’ (tanning substance) and is used for a range of natural polyphenols. Since ancient times it is known that certain organic substances have tanning properties and are able to tan animal skins to form leather. Prehistoric tribes already knew about the tanning of protective animal hides with brain material and the fat of the killed animals. Howeve...
