Abstract:
Viniferin is the generic term of oligomers of resveratrol, which acts as phytoalexin in Leguminosae, Polygonaceae, Vitaceae, Ranunculaceae, Dipterocarpaceae and other plants. Viniferin plays important physiological roles in protecting against UV damage and resisting bacterial fungal and viral infection in plants. Nevertheless, these oligomers have shown various pharmacological activities including antioxidative activities, anti-pathogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities. This paper review the recent advances in research of viniferins microbes to show their key pharmaceutical activities for pharmaceutic references.
