| Description | 3,3',4'5-Tetrahydroxystilbene, also known as 3-hydroxyresveratol or piceatanol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as stilbenes. These are organic compounds containing a 1,2-diphenylethylene moiety. Stilbenes (C6-C2-C6 ) are derived from the common phenylpropene (C6-C3) skeleton building block. The introduction of one or more hydroxyl groups to a phenyl ring lead to stilbenoids. Thus, 3,3',4'5-tetrahydroxystilbene is considered to be an aromatic polyketide lipid molecule. 3,3',4'5-Tetrahydroxystilbene is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 3,3',4'5-Tetrahydroxystilbene exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, 3,3',4'5-Tetrahydroxystilbene has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as black tea, dessert wines, red champagnes, deerberries, and fruit juices. This could make 3,3',4'5-tetrahydroxystilbene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 3,3',4'5-Tetrahydroxystilbene is found in Abies alba, Abies spectabilis, Aiphanes horrida, Apis cerana, Bolboschoenus fluviatilis, Callistemon rigidus, Caragana tibetica, Centrolobium tomentosum, Chamaecrista flexuosa, Cissus quadrangularis, Cladrastis platycarpa, Cyperus longus, Dioscorea antaly, Eucalyptus sideroxylon, Euphorbia lagascae, Fagopyrum megacarpum, Intsia bijuga, Laburnum alpinum, Maackia amurensis, Medicago sativa, Melaleuca leucadendra, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Parthenocissus tricuspidata, Pericopsis elata, Picea abies, Picea engelmannii, Picea glauca, Picea glehnii, Picea jezoensis, Picea mariana, Picea obovata, Picea rubens, Picea sitchensis, Pinus koraiensis, Rheum officinale, Rheum rhaponticum, Rheum sublanceolatum, Rheum undulatum, Saccharum officinarum, Schoenoplectus californicus, Schotia brachypetala, Senna garrettiana, Senna lindheimeriana, Senna siamea, Senna skinneri, Smilax bracteata, Smilax corbularia, Spirotropis longifolia, Streptomyces avermitilis, Syagrus romanzoffiana, Vitis amurensis, Vitis vinifera and Vouacapoua macropetala. 3,3',4'5-Tetrahydroxystilbene was first documented in 1989 (PMID: 2590224). A stilbenol that is trans-stilbene in which one of the phenyl groups is substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 4, while the other phenyl group is substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 5 (PMID: 10370868) (PMID: 12038794) (PMID: 16216908) (PMID: 10425214) (PMID: 10641182) (PMID: 11696049). |
