Among polyphenol compounds, the flavan-3-ol structure, which is the basic unit of green tea catechins and the galloyl groups contained in green tea catechins are known to exhibit various functions. In this paper, we discuss how to concentrate highly functional polyphenol compounds by exploiting the interaction between gelatin and the catechol structures. First, we confirmed the interaction between heat-stabilized gelatin and flavan-3-ol derivatives, including synthesized compounds. When green tea leaf extract containing a large amount of flavan-3-ol derivatives was incubated with gelatin, most of the polyphenol compounds it contained were adsorbed. Because the compounds adsorbed on gelatin could not be eluted, DPPH radical and ABTS radical scavenging activity tests were conducted using the as-prepared gelatin–polyphenol complex. Radical scavenging activity was observed when the compounds were adsorbed on gelatin and heating at 90 °C for 5 min did not have a significant effect on their activity. These results suggest that functional polyphenols can be efficiently concentrated using heat-stabilized gelatin and retain their functionality while adsorbed.

The stem bark of Polyalthia simiarum has yielded a new bisnor-type clerodane diterpenoid, 2-oxo-14,15-bisnor-3,11 E-kolavadien-13-one (1), and three previously known clerodane derivatives, kolavenic acid (2), 16β-hydroxycleroda-3,13(14) Z-dien-15,16-olide (3), and 16-oxocleroda-3,13(14) E-dien-15-oic acid (4). The structures of these compounds were unambiguously determined by extensive NMR studies as well as by comparison with related compounds. Till now this is the second report of the occurrence of any unusual C-18 clerodane diterpenoid from nature. The crude light petroleum extract and the purified compound 3 demonstrated moderate free radical scavenging activity with IC50 values of 21.5 and 23.5 μg/mL, respectively.

Fifty natural and synthetic hydroxy-, aminohydroxynaphthazarins and related quinones were tested for their antiradical activities using 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) scavenging assay. The main features of structure-antiradical activity relationship of amino- and hydroxyquinones were determined for the first time. It was found that naphthazarins (5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones) are much more active against ABTS-radical than related 1,4-naphthoquinones and 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones. Natural aminonaphthazarins (spinamine E, echinamine A) and polyhydroxylated naphthazarins (spinazarin, echinochrome, spinochrome D and E) revealed high antiradical properties. In most cases, the presence of long chained O-alkoxy substituent in benzenoid part of naphthazarin core enhanced their antiradical activity.
