General description

Oxyresveratrol (OXY or ORV) is a naturally occurring polyphenolic stilbene that is predominantly present in the heartwood of many plants. It is primarily extracted from Artocarpus lakoocha Roxb. plant, and is one of the main constituents of this plant. ORV has a very simple chemical structure with a trans-1,2-diphenylethylene in its core and two hydroxyls (OH) groups attached to each aromatic ring.

Application

Oxyresveratrol has been used:
  • with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles to test its antioxidant effects and to investigate its role in the inhibition of superoxide anion (O2-) generation
  • to test its effects as an anti-neuroinflammatory agent on interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)-induced HMC3 human microglial cell line
  • as a reference standard to determine its existence in Artocarpus lakoocha Roxb. (AL) extract using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Oxyresveratrol is well-known due to its diverse biological and pharmacological properties. It is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. ORV also exerts neuroprotective activities and protects against cerebral ischemia, stroke, and several neurodegenerative disorders. It also displays anti-cancer, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective properties and protects against several other metabolic disorders. It is also a potent tyrosinase inhibitor.

The phytochemical oxyresveratrol has been shown to exert diverse biological activities including prevention of obesity. However, the exact reason underlying the anti-obese effects of oxyresveratrol is not fully understood. Here, we investigated the effects and mechanism of oxyresveratrol in adipocytes

Twenty-seven flavonoids isolated from Dalbergia parviflora with vast structural diversity were screened for inhibitory activity against mushroom and murine tyrosinases using l-DOPA as the substrate. Among the flavonoids tested, only four—khrinone (5), cajanin (9), (3RS)-3′-hydroxy-8-methoxy vestitol (21), and (6aR,11aR)-3,8-dihydroxy-9-methoxy pterocarpan
