Abstract:Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol which can be found in many plants and fruits, such as peanuts, mulberries, blueberries and, above all, in grapes and red wine. Its synthesis is regulated by the presence of stressful factors, such as fungal contamination and ultra-violet radiation. In plants, it plays a role as a phytoalexin, showing a capacity to inhibit the development of certain infections. Plant extracts which contain resveratrol have been employed by traditional medicine for more than 2000 years. Resveratrol was first isolated, and its properties were initially studied with scientific methods, thirty years ago. Its in vitro properties have been extensively studied and demonstrated. It is worth highlighting its activity as an anti-cancer agent, platelet anti-aggregation agent, anti-inflammatory, antiallergenic, etc. The activity of its in vivo properties are not so clear. There are many studies that report benefits on the cardiovascular system, illnesses such as diabetes, and in longevity. However, other authors did not find any agreement between in vitro and in vivo studies. This discrepancy is due to the bioavailability of resveratrol. After an oral dose, it has been demonstrated that the absorption is very high, but the metabolic pathways leave just a little free resveratrol in blood, therefore the bioavailability in the target tissues is very low and the concentrations used in in vitro studies are not found in these tissues. Thus, resveratrol is a very active molecule for maintaining health, but due to the low bioavailability not all the in vitro effects can be translated to in vivo. This opens a new potential approach, seeking derivatives of resveratrol that can be measured in the desired tissues
