General description

Resveratrol, a non-flavonoid polyphenolic compound, is widely found in the skin of red grapes, nuts, berries, Polygonum cuspidatum root, etc. It is reportedly known to exhibit pharmacological properties including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotectant, anti-atherogenic property and reduces the synthesis of pro-atherosclerotic substances.

Application

Resveratrol has been used as a phenolic analytical standard to determine its content in oat flour tarhana and different varieties of chicory using high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). It has also been used as an analytical standard to investigate its effectiveness in modulating several signaling pathways that are involved in carcinogenesis, via determining its anti-tumor potential in colorectal cancer as a proapoptotic agent in colorectal cancer cell lines, including HCT116, CO115 and SW48.
