Procyanidin B2 (PB2), an antioxidant from the proanthocyanidin flavonoid polyphenol group, is found in plants like grape seeds, berries, cocoa, and tea, offering pharmacological benefits including anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects [1-3].
Procyanidin B2, when administered at concentrations ranging from 0 to 10 μM for 24 h, suppresses the secretion of sFlt-1 from primary placental tissues andendothelial cells [4]. Additionally, at concentrations of 1 to 2.5 μM, Procyanidin B2 enhances the angiogenic function, survival, and migration of Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) exposed to high glucose (HG) conditions [5].
Procyanidin B2 (PB2), administered intravenously at doses of 0.5, 1, or 2 mg/kg, contributes to the treatment of sepsis-induced Acute Lung Injury (ALI) by regulating cytokine storms and mitigating inflammation through modulation of the TLR4/NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, Hippo, and Rho signaling pathways [6]. Furthermore, Procyanidin B2 (50 mg/kg/day) administered orally for 6 weeks attenuates liver injury and hepatocyte pyroptosis in mice exposed to nicotine [7].
