For this review, researchers from Tongji University School of Medicine in China summarized the relationship between the structure and corresponding biomedical potentials of proanthocyanidins B (PA-Bs). The purpose of their study, which was published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, was to encourage researchers to conduct further studies evaluating the potential of the plant from which PA-Bs are sourced.
The researchers believe that the anticancer activities of PMBE, as well as its active constituents and derivatives, need to be further evaluated by preclinical and clinical studies.
