Infobox references

Tellimagrandin II is the first of the ellagitannins formed from 1,2,3,4,6-pentagalloyl-glucose. It can be found in Geum japonicum and Syzygium aromaticum (clove).[1]

Tellimagrandin II is an isomer of punicafolin or nupharin A, but the hexahydroxydiphenoyl group is not attached to the same hydroxyl groups in the glucose molecule.

The compound shows anti-herpesvirus properties.[1]

Biosynthesis and metabolism

Tellimagrandin II is formed by oxidation of pentagalloyl glucose in Tellima grandiflora by the enzyme pentagalloylglucose: O(2) oxidoreductase, a laccase-type phenol oxidase.[2]

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

It is further oxidized to casuarictin, a molecule formed via oxidative dehydrogenation of 2 other galloyl groups in Casuarina and Stachyurus species.[3]

Dimerization

It is laccase-catalyzed dimerized to cornusiin E in Tellima grandiflora.[4][5]

Uses

It has an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound. The compound shows anti-herpesvirus properties.
