Uses
2,3,4',5-Tetrahydroxystilbene 2-O-β-D-glucoside (TSG) is an active product that can be extracted from Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. TSG has anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-apoptotic, and free radical scavenging activities, TSG is also indicated to facilitate long-term potentiation and learning and memory in both normal and pathological conditions[1][2].
Definition
ChEBI: (E)-2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-beta-D-glucoside is a stilbenoid that is trans-stilbene which has been substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 2, 3, 5, and 4', and in which the hydroxy group at positon 2 has then been converted to the corresponding the beta-D-glucoside. It has a role as an antioxidant, a cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor, an anti-inflammatory agent, a cardioprotective agent, a platelet aggregation inhibitor and an apoptosis inhibitor. It is a stilbenoid, a beta-D-glucoside and a member of resorcinols.
