structure in first source

Date introduced: March 13, 2000

Dimers and oligomers of flavan-3-ol units (CATECHIN analogs) linked mainly through C4 to C8 bonds to leucoanthocyanidins. They are structurally similar to ANTHOCYANINS but are the result of a different fork in biosynthetic pathways.

Year introduced: 2004

an antioxidant flavan-3-ol from Polygonum amplexicaule; structure in first source

Date introduced: February 9, 2012

reaction: a flavan-3-ol + 2 NAD(P)+ = an anthocyanidin + 2 NAD(P)H + H+; amino acid sequence in first source

Date introduced: May 4, 2006

Pycnogenol (tradename) is a commercial mixture of bioflavonoids with antioxidative properties; isolated from the bark of the French marine pine Pinus pinaster or Pinus maritima; term suggested to designate flavan-3-ol derivatives
