Which compounds in vine tea contain the pyrogallol moiety and are potentially responsible for anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity?
Label:chem
Topic
Flavonoids in vine tea were reported to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 via covalent binding to the 3CLpro enzyme, supposedly through their pyrogallol (catechol) moieties.
Answer
At least nine bioactive phenolics contain the pyrogallol moiety: ampelopsin (6), myricetin (19), myricetin 3-O-galactoside (15), myricitrin (16), epigallocatechin (5), epigallocatechin gallate (8), gallocatechin gallate (10), epicatechin gallate (12), and catechin gallate (14). These compounds may contribute to the anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity in addition to the main compound ampelopsin.
