Prodelphinidin
Chemical structure of prodelphinidin B3

Prodelphinidin is a name for the polymeric tannins composed of gallocatechin.[1][2][3] It yields delphinidin during depolymerisation under oxidative conditions.

Natural occurrences

[edit]

Prodelphinidins are one of the two sorts of tannins in grape (the other being procyanidins) being produced especially in the skin of the berry.[4]

Prodelphinidins can be found in Cistus salviifolius.[5] Gallocatechin-(4→8)-catechin (prodelphinidin B3), gallocatechin-(4→8)-gallocatechin and catechin-(4→8)-gallocatechin can be found in the pomegranate peels.[6] Prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate can be found in green tea leaves[7] and prodelphinidin B-2 3,3'-di-O-gallate can be found in Myrica rubra.[8]

Particular oligomeric prodelphinidins

[edit]

Prodelphinidin B3 (gallocatechin-(4α→8)-catechin) and prodelphinidin B9 (epigallocatechin-(4α→8)-catechin) can be isolated in beer.[9][10] Prodelphinidin C2 (gallocatechin-(4α→8)-gallocatechin-(4α→8)-catechin) can be isolated in malt.[11]

The A-type proanthocyanidin epigallocatechin-(2β→7,4β→8)-epicatechin can be found in the leaves of Dioclea lasiophylla,[12]
