Pinosylvin is a pre-infectious stilbenoid toxin (i.e. synthesized prior to infection), contrary to phytoalexins which are synthesized during infection. It is present in the heartwood of Pinaceae.[1] It is a fungitoxin protecting the wood from fungal infection.[2] It is also found in Gnetum cleistostachyum.[3]
Injected in rats, pinosylvin shows a rapid glucuronidation and a poor bioavailability.[4]
Biosynthesis
Pinosylvin synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction 3 malonyl-CoA + cinnamoyl-CoA → 4 CoA + pinosylvin + 4 CO2
