General description

Oenothein B is a dimeric ellagitannin compound which is found commonly in genusOenothera.

Application

Oenothein B may be used as a reference standard for the determination of oenothein B in aqueous extracts of Epilobii angustifolli herba and Epilobium angustifolium L. by high performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC)-densitometry, in plant materials by HPLC combined with diode array detector (DAD) and mass spectrometry (MS) and in Eucalyptus globulus leaves by HPLC-DAD coupled to electrospray ionization (EIS) MS.

Epilobium species (Onagraceae) are commonly used herbal remedies in traditional, adjuvant therapy of benignus prostate hyperplasia (BPH), however the pharmacological and clinical standardization of commercially available Epilobii herba (willow-herb) remains difficult. Willow-herb products usually consist of mixtures from various species

Oenothein B, a macrocircular dimeric ellagitannin, was found to be a potent and specific inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase. Oenothein B suppressed glucocorticoid-sensitive mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) transcription in 34I cells. This suppression was accompanied by inhibition of glucocorticoid-induced endogeneous
