Nutraceutical Profile

ImmunCR Id : ICR112
Chemical Name : Procyanidin
Plant Source : Malus domestica
Nutraceutical information : Edible, High content in apple, grapes, nuts, grains, cranberry, red wine, cocoa, tea.
Mode of administration : ---
Immunomodulatory mechanism : Antioxidant (inhibits ROS, RNS, hydroxyl reactive species, inos, upregulates IL-12, Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway, ARE-mediated transcription, Nrf2 expression, GSH, HO-1 (heme oxygenase-1), GSH-Px, downregulates MAPK pathway); Anti-cancer (upregulates NF-kb, MAPK, p13k/Akt pathway, Akt/mtor pathway signaling, caspase-3, Bcl-2, downregulates Notch1 pathway, Bax, p53, IGFBP-3 (insulin like growth factor binding protein-3) enzymes, EGFR/VEGF/MMP9, inhibits COX-2, PGE2); Anti-inflammatory (downregulates p38, ERK, phosphorylation of JNK, TNF-ꭤ, malondialdehyde, IL-6, CD80, CD86, MHC class II, inhibits ERK1/2, ikkb enzymes, MAPK, NF-κb pathways, upregulates SOD (superoxide dismutase), Nrf2)
Description : Procyanidin is a homo-oligomeric proanthocyanodin polyphenolic compound comprising flavan-3-ol units containing catechin and epicatechin. It has a poor oral bioavailability and absorption because of the interaction with other foods and gastric ph.
