Pomegranate polyphenols are potent antioxidants and chemopreventive agents but have low bioavailability and a short half-life. For example, punicalagin (PU), the major polyphenol in pomegranates, is not absorbed in its intact form but is hydrolyzed to ellagic acid (EA) moieties and rapidly metabolized into short-lived metabolites of EA. We hypothesized that encapsulation of pomegranate polyphen...

Pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel was extracted with water: ethanol (1:1) at room temperature and the extract was evaluated for antioxidant potential against AAPH induced lipid peroxidation in vitro in mice synaptosomes. In addition, its neuroprotective efficacy against rotenone-induced mortality, motor deficits and oxidative stress in Drosophila melanogaster was also assessed. Extract showed ...
