Conformational and substitution effects on the electron distribution in a series of anthocyanidins.

8 Sep 2009 Density functional theory (DFT) and polarizable continuum solvation model (PCM) calculations have been applied to the study of the acid/base and prototropic equilibria of anthocyanidins. The results indicate that, excluding pelargonidin, the most ... Read more...

Delphinidin inhibits a broad spectrum of receptor tyrosine kinases of the ErbB and VEGFR family.

30 Aug 2009 Delphinidin has been reported to inhibit EGFR signalling. To determine whether other receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are also influenced by delphinidin, we examined its ability to inhibit the kinase activity of EGFR, ErbB2, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3 and ... Read more...

Tissue distribution of anthocyanins in rats fed a blackberry anthocyanin-enriched diet.

30 Aug 2009 Anthocyanins are natural dietary pigments that could be involved in various health effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of anthocyanins to various organs (bladder, prostate, testes, heart and adipose tissue) in rats fed ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Anthocyanins'

Definition: A group of FLAVONOIDS derived from FLAVONOLS, which lack the ketone oxygen at the 4-position. They are glycosylated versions of cyanidin, pelargonidin or delphinidin. The conjugated bonds result in blue, red, and purple colors in flowers of plants.
