Metabolite Identification
Common NamePelargonidin
DescriptionPelargonidin, also known as pelargonidin chloride (CAS: 134-04-3) is an anthocyanin. Anthocyanins are water-soluble glycosides and acylglycosides of anthocyanidins, which are polyhydroxy and polymethoxyl derivatives of a 2-phenylbenzopyrylium (flavylium) cation. They are widely distributed in foods of plant origin, especially in fruits and vegetables with dark red and blue colours. Numerous epidemiologic and clinical trials show that fruits and vegetables, many of which are rich in anthocyanins, may be related to the decreased incidence of many chronic and degenerative diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and aging. Antioxidant mechanisms were suggested as potential means of disease prevention. Anthocyanins are strong antioxidants in vitro. In most cases, fruits and vegetables with high anthocyanin content were shown to have higher antioxidant capacity than other fruits and vegetables. Whether anthocyanins are effective antioxidants in vivo remains an open question primarily because of the relatively low apparent absorption of anthocyanins compared with other phenolic compounds (PMID: 15465754 ). BioTransformer predicts that pelargonidin is a product of 5-[(6-{[(2-carboxyacetyl)oxy]methyl}-3,4,5-trihydroxyoxan-2-yl)oxy]-3,7-dihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1λ⁴-chromen-1-ylium metabolism via a glycoside-hydrolysis reaction occurring in human gut microbiota and catalyzed by an EC.3.2.1.X enzyme (PMID: 30612223 ).
