Abstract

Compounds of natural origin, an infinite treasure of bioactive chemical entities, persist as an inexhaustible resource for discovering new medicines. In this review, we summarize the naturally occurring ellagitannins, sanguiins, which are bioactive constituents of various traditional medicinal plants, especially from the Rosaceae family. In-depth studies of sanguiin H-6 as an antimicrobial, antiviral, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and osteoclastogenesis inhibitory agent have led to potent drug candidates. In addition, recently, virtual screening studies have suggested that sanguiin H-6 might increase resistance toward SARS-CoV-2 in the early stages of infection. Further experimental investigations on ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) supplemented with molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation are still needed to fully understand sanguiins’ mechanism of action. In sum, sanguiins appear to be promising compounds for additional studies, especially for their application in therapies for a multitude of common and debilitating ailments.

Summary

Introduction

Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. The main advantage of sanguiins over other common polyphenols in the plant world is their wide distribution in food products Their health-promoting properties can be used in a properly balanced diet [11]. Various bioactivities (e.g., antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral, and antimicrobial) of sanguiins, mainly sanguiin H-6, have been investigated, their pharmacological potential demonstrated in vitro, in silico, and in vivo experimental models has not been clearly organized through review articles. This manuscript summarizes the findings on the widespread bioactivities of sanguiin H-1 (SH1), sanguiin H-2 (SH2), sanguiin H-3. (SH11) to showcase their potential to be used as therapeutic agents
