“…Trans-resveratrol and its derivatives exist in a variety of food sources, including grapes, wines, berries, nuts, and herbal plants (Baur and Sinclair, 2006), and agricultural wastes, such as grapevine prunings Karacabey and Mazza, 2008). Given the inherent complexities, wastes involved, and lack of green chemistry approaches regarding conventional laboratory methods for synthesizing stilbenes (Guiso et al, 2002;Jeffery and Ferber, 2003;Ferre-Filmon et al, 2004), there also is interest in obtaining this compound directly from renewable sources and using it as a platform molecule in medicinal chemistry (Rayne, 2008). In addition to trans-resveratrol, a large number of other stilbenes have been reported in plant extracts, and since 1995, more than 400 new naturally occurring stilbenes were isolated and identified (Shen et al, 2009).…”
