Tellimagrandin II is an isomer of punicafolin or nupharin A, but the hexahydroxydiphenoyl group is not attached to the same hydroxyl groups in the glucose molecule.

The compound shows anti-herpesvirus properties.[1]

Metabolism

edit

It is formed by oxidation of pentagalloyl glucose in Tellima grandiflora by the enzyme pentagalloylglucose: O(2) oxidoreductase, a laccase-type phenol oxidase.[2]

It is further oxidized to casuarictin, a molecule formed via oxidative dehydrogenation of 2 other galloyl groups in Casuarina and Stachyurus species.[3]

Dimerization

edit

It is laccase-catalyzed dimerized to cornusiin E in Tellima grandiflora.[4][5]

Uses

edit

It has an extremely weak basic(essentially neutral) compound. The compound shows anti-herpesvirus properties.
