CHEMICAL STRUCTURE AND PRACTICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF RESVERATROL

Abstract

Polyphenolic compounds are a class of chemical compounds that contain two or more hydroxyl groups in the benzene ring. Natural polyphenol compounds are plant compounds that are very important for health. The antioxidant effects of these compounds reduce the risk of many diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and bone health. One such polyphenol is gossypol, which is found in large quantities (0.02-1.6%) in cotton seed and root bark, and is rare in other parts. Gossypol - has an active effect on the virus, so interferon inducers and other substances used against viruses are isolated from gossypol. Another natural polyphenol, resveratrol, found in the flesh of fruits such as red grapes, raspberries, cocoa, and peanuts, exhibits antioxidant, free radical, and anti-inflammatory properties
