Characters:
- Astringent water soluble compounds with high molecular weight (1000 - 5000)
- Tannins Aqueous soln are acidic to litmus paper (due to presence of free phenolic and
carboxylic groups)
Y
- Show color reaction with Dichromate and iron salts.
TH
- Ppt protein making it resistant to proteolytic enzymes
Extraction
4) The remaining aqueous layer is extracted with ethyl acetate to separate (low M.wt)
5) The remaining aqueous layer contains (high M.wt) polymeric proanthocyanidins and
gallotannins
pg. 1
Goldbeater's skin test:
1) Small piece of ox intestine (gold beater skin) soaked in dil HCL and washed
2) Skin soaked in test soln for few minutes, then rinsed with distill water
Tannins
Hydrolysable Condensed
Y Complex Psedo tannins
TH
Gallo tannins Ellagi tannins
A) Hydrolysable Tannins
FA
- Esters of sugars (Glucose) and phenolic acids (Gallic acid - Ellagic acid)
- Hydrolysis with Tannase enzymes alkali or with Acids to give Gallic acid or
HexaHydroxyDiphenic Acid (HHDP)
- Dry distillation gives Pyrogalol which gives Bluish black color with FeCI3
1) Gallotannins
Chinese Tannins contains 5 galloyl esters while Turkish contains 4 galloyl esters
pg. 2
Hamamelis tannins in Hamamelis leaf contains:
2) Ellagitannins
-Central Glucose esterified by dimer of gallic acid called HexaHydroxyDiPhenic acid (HHDP)
-Hydrolysis gives glucose and HHDP which undergoes lactonization into Ellagic acid
B) Condensed Tannins
-On treatment with Acids or enzymes converted into red water insoluble Plobaphene
- Dry distillation gives catechol which gives Greenish black color with FeCl3
Flavon-3-ol
pg. 3
C) Complex Tannins
- Consists of Hydrolysable tannin unit and condensed tannin unit connected to glucose core
through C-C bond between CI of glucose and C6 or C8 of Flavan- 3-ol
- Dry distillation gives Pyrogallol + Catechol which give bluish and greenish black color with
FeCL3
D) Pseudo tannins
Tannic acid
FA
- Extraction from powder with water + Alcohol + Ether and separation of aqueous layer
- Dextrorotatory Acidic yellowish white Odourless water and alcohol soluble powder
pg. 4
Terpene lactones
1) Artemisinin
2) Santonin
3) Cantharidin
pg. 5
4) Picrotoxin
Y
TH
5) Parthenolide
pg. 6
Anti oxidants
Oxidation: Electron transfer from substance to another to produce free radicals
Oxidative stress
Result in Cell damage & LDL oxidation result in atherosclerosis CNS disorders
Antioxidants uses:
Antioxidants types:
Y
a) Water soluble reacts with oxidant in cytoplasm and plasma
b) Lipid soluble protect cell membrane from lipid peroxidation ex: vitamin E
TH
c) Exogenous cannot be synthesized inside body, obtained from diet ( Vit C & E )
Antioxidants assay
DPPH (DiPhenyl Picryl Mydrazine) Violet free radical react with antioxidant to give yellow
color intensity assay spectrophotometrically
A) Exogenous anti-oxidants
Α Tocopherols (vit E)
- Protect cell membranes from oxidation by reacting with lipid radicals produced in lipid
peroxidation chain reaction
pg. 7
8) Endogenous anti-oxidants
2) Glutathione
- Tripeptide of Glutamic-Cysteine-Glycine
- Powerful antioxidant can easily cross cell membrane and blood brain barrier
FA
(CNS)
Pro-Oxidants
Uitamin C reduce metal ions (Fe) that generate free radicals through Fenton reaction
Physical Exercise
Muscular fatigue
- This strengthens the body antioxidants defense and protective against diseases associated
