Stilbenoid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Resveratrol is a biologically important stilbenoid.

Stilbenoids are hydroxylated derivatives of stilbene. In biochemical terms, they belong to the family of phenylpropanoids and share most of their biosynthesis pathway with chalcones.[1] Stilbenoids are secondary products of heartwood formation in trees that can act as phytoalexins.

A bacterial stilbenoid, produced in an alternative ketosynthase-directed pathway, (E)-;3,5-Dihydroxy-4-isopropyl-trans-stilbene, exists in Photorhabdus bacterial symbionts of Heterorhabditis nematodes.[2]

An example of a stilbenoid is resveratrol, which is found in grapes and which has been suggested to have many health benefits.[3]

Phytoalexin properties

They have been suggested by some studies to be responsible for resistance to some tree diseases, such as pine wilt.
