Ramsay, A. and Mueller-Harvey, I. (2016) Senna alata leaves are a good source of propelargonidins. Natural Product Research, 30 (13). pp. 1548-1551. ISSN 1478-6419 doi: 10.1080/14786419.2015.1108976

Abstract/Summary

Proanthocyanidins (PA) in Senna alata leaves were investigated by thiolysis with benzyl mercaptan, LC–MS and NMR and consisted of almost pure propelargonidins with <6% procyanidins, had B-type linkages and a mean degree of polymerisation of three. Epiafzelechin was the major flavan-3-ol subunit (>94%) and epicatechin a minor constituent (6.4%) in residual PA and mainly detected as an extension unit.
