Pterostilbene and its glucoside induce type XVII collagen expression

Abstract

The glycosylation of pterostilbene by cultured plant cells of Phytolacca americana gave pterostilbene 4-O-′-D-glucoside. Both pterostilbene and its 4'-O-β-Dglucoside induced type XVII collagen expression in the EpiDermFT EFT-400 human skin cell model. Pterostilbene 4′-O-β-D-glucoside strongly induced type XVII collagen expression rather than pterostilbene.
