A polyphenol flavonoid dimer with diverse biological activities
Procyanidin B3 is a polyphenol flavonoid dimer of (+)-catechin that has been found in G. biloba and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3 It inhibits aggregation of amyloid-β (1-42) with an IC50 value of 3.54 μM and destabilizes preformed Aβ42 fibrils (EC50 = 5.12 μM).1 Procyanidin B3 (1 mM) reduces oxidation of linoleic acid and scavenges 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radicals in cell-free assays.2 It inhibits hydrogen peroxide-induced production of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and apoptosis in primary murine chondrocytes.3 Procyanidin B3 (0.01 mg/kg) reduces chondrocyte apoptosis, pseudocapsule thickness, and the frequency of ectopic cartilage formation in a mouse model of surgically induced osteoarthritis.
