Polydatin, a type of polyphenolic phytoalexin, has many physiological and pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities. Polydatin is an effective candidate drug for the protection of photo-inflammation. Polydatin exhibits therapeutic potential for vascular dementia, most likely due to its anti-oxidant activity and the direct protection of neurons.

Polydatin (PD), a resveratrol glucoside, has recently been suggested to have cardioprotective effects against heart diseases, including ischemia-reperfusion injury and pressure-overload induced ventricular remodeling. However, the mechanisms are poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the direct effects of PD

The pathophysiology of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease remains incompletely elucidated, and available treatments are not entirely satisfactory. Polydatin, a stilbenoid compound derived from the rhizome of Polygonum cuspidatum, has been recognised to possess hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory activities. The purpose of

Piceid is widely used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals because of its therapeutic benefits. However, the use of piceid as a drug is limited because of its low solubility. To increase solubility, we synthesized piceid glucosides using maltosyltransferase from Caldicellulosiruptor
Polydatin is one of main compounds in Polygonum cuspidatum, a plant with both medicinal and nutritional value. The possible hepatoprotective effects of polydatin on acute liver injury mice induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) and the mechanisms involved were investigated. Intraperitoneal
It is well known that human keratinocytes produce the anti-microbial peptide β-defensin 2. Its production is enhanced by pathogenic microorganisms or other environmental stressors. In this study, we evaluated the effect of resveratrol, a polyphenol found in several dietary source
