NOVEL COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING ISOLATED TETRAMERIC TYPE A PROANTHOCYANADIN AND METHODS OF USE AND MANUFACTURE

摘要

The present invention relates to compositions containing an isolated novel tetrameric type A proanthocyanidin isomer having a formula of C60H48O24. The isomer is most preferably isolated from cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp.) and may be used in pharmaceutical compositions as anti-inflammatories, bactericides, antimicrobial formulations, or supplements for general or specific uses.
