Research Abstract |
Tannins of several plant resources including those used for functional foods were investigated, and various tannins including new ones were isolated from a tamaricaceous plant grown in Egypt. Several tannins among them showed selective cytotoxicity against human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines. Those tannins were produced in cultured tissues induced from Tamarix tetrandra successfully. Artificial tannins based on oligosaccharide cores were newly synthesized, and they also showed selective cytotoxicity against OSCC cell lines.
