To enable the further exploration of structure-activity relationships (SARs) of proanthocyanidins (PACs) with dentin biomodification abilities, Cinnamomum verum was selected for scaled-up purification of mixed A-/B-type, medium-size PAC oligomers. Sequential purification by centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC), Sephadex LH-20, and semiprep HPLC chromatography yielded four underivatized tetrameric (5-8) and two pentameric (9-10) PACs. Their unambiguous structural characterization involved extensive spectral and chemical degradation approaches to show that epicatechin units are connected by plant-specific combinations of doubly linked A- and singly linked B-type interflavanyl bonds. The biomechanical properties (via dynamic mechanical analysis) and physicochemical structure (via infrared spectroscopy) were assessed to evaluate the biomodification potency of PAC-treated collagen in a preclinical dentin model. This study revealed that (4→8) versus (4→6) bonds in PAC interflavan linkages have limited influence on biomechanical outcomes of dentin. By exhibiting a 25-fold increase in the complex modulus of treated dentin compared to control, aesculitannin E (5) was found to be the most potent PAC known to date for enhancing the mechanical properties of dentin in this preclinical model.

The first stereoselective syntheses of doubly linked (A-type) oligocatechins, (+)-procyanidin A2 and (+)-cinnamtannin B1, have been achieved. Ethylenedioxy-bridged flavans served as excellent platforms, thus allowing annulation with

A chemical examination of the seed shells of Aesculus hyppocastanum L.has led to the isolation of proanthocyanidins A-6 (10) and A-7 (11), and aesculitannins A (12), B (13), C (14), D (15), E (16), F (17) and G (18).On the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence, proanthocyanidins A-6 (10) and A-7 (11) have been determined to be A-type dimers each possessing a C-4, C-6 interflavanoid linkage, while aesculitannins A (12), B (13), C (14), D (15), E (16), F (17) and G (18) have been characterized as oligomeric proanthocyanidins possessing A-type unit(s) in each molecule.In addition, the presence of (-)-epicatechin (1), proanthocyanidins B-5 (3), A-2 (4), A-4 (5) and C-1 (6), epicatechin-(4β->6)-epicatechin-(4β->6)-epicatechin (7), and cinnamtannins B1 (8) and B2 (9) was also demonstrated Keywords---Aesculus hippocastanum; Hippocastanaceae; aesculitannin; doubly-bonded proanthocyanidin; procyanidin; condensed tannin; flavan-3-ol; thiolytic degradation; epimerization; hydrogen peroxide oxidation
