Resveratrol (RV): A Journey through Its Biological

By Mahshid Lotfi, Gülüzar Özbolat, Seyed Hooman Banihashemi

Resveratrol (C14H12O3) is a polyphenolic compound belonging to the stilbene family of compounds, which consists of two aromatic rings linked by a double bond. The molecular structure of resveratrol can exist in two isomeric forms: trans-resveratrol and cis-resveratrol, the latter being more stable and biologically active. Its structure is crucial to its biochemical and therapeutic properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities.1. Aromatic rings: Resveratrol contains two benzene rings that are key to its bioactivity. These aromatic rings provide a framework that can interact with various enzymes, receptors and proteins. The rings decorated with hydroxyl groups, which further enhance the biological interactions of the molecule, particularly its antioxidant properties.2. Stilbene backbone: The core structure of resveratrol is based on a stilbene backbone consisting of a carbon-carbon double bond (-C=C-) linking the two aromatic rings. In this book, we have 7 chapters to discuss about Resveratrol (RV): A Journey through Its Biological and Medicinal Wonders.
