  2. Anthocyanin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthocyanin

    Anthocyanin pigments are assembled like all other flavonoids from two different streams of chemical raw materials in the cell: One stream involves the shikimate pathway to produce the amino acid phenylalanine, (see phenylpropanoids) The other stream produces three molecules of malonyl-CoA, a C 3 unit from a C 2 unit , [58]

  3. Peonidin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peonidin

    Peonidin, like many anthocyanidins, has shown potent inhibitory and apoptotic effects on cancer cells in vitro, notably metastatic human breast cancer cells. [1] A very large question, however, has been raised about anthocyanidins' penetration and retention in human cells in vivo , due to their rapid elimination from the human body.

  4. Anthocyanidin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthocyanidin

    In bryophytes, anthocyanins are usually based on 3-desoxyanthocyanidins located in the cell wall. A new anthocyanidin, riccionidin A, has been isolated from the liverwort Ricciocarpos natans . It could be derived from 6,7,2′,4′,6′-pentahydroxyflavylium, having undergone ring closure of the 6’ -hydroxyl at the 3-position.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

    In terms of tissue type, the body may be analyzed into water, fat, connective tissue, muscle, bone, etc. In terms of cell type, the body contains hundreds of different types of cells, but notably, the largest number of cells contained in a human body (though not the largest mass of cells) are not human cells, but bacteria residing in the normal ...

  6. Biological pigment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_pigment

    Biological pigments include plant pigments and flower pigments. Many biological structures, such as skin, eyes, feathers, fur and hair contain pigments such as melanin in specialized cells called chromatophores. In some species, pigments accrue over very long periods during an individual's lifespan. [2]

  7. Pelargonidin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelargonidin

    Pelargonidin can be found in red geraniums (Geraniaceae). It is the predominant pigment causing the red coloration in the spathes of Philodendron (Araceae). The orange-coloured flowers of blue pimpernel (Anagallis monelli, Myrsinaceae) have a higher concentration of pelargonidin pigment.

  8. Cyanidin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanidin

    Cyanidin is a natural organic compound.It is a particular type of anthocyanidin (glycoside version called anthocyanins).It is a pigment found in many red berries including grapes, bilberry, blackberry, blueberry, cherry, chokeberry, cranberry, elderberry, hawthorn, loganberry, açai berry and raspberry.

  9. Metalloanthocyanin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalloanthocyanin

    Commelinin, a blue pigment from the flowers of Commelina communis, is a complex of 4 Mg 2+ ions chelating six anthocyanin molecules. [2]Cyanosalvianin, a blue pigment from the flowers of Salvia uliginosa, is a complex formed of six molecules of the anthocyanin type, six molecules of the flavone type and two magnesium ions.
