Summary: We report the discovery of two metabotypes associated with resveratrol metabolism by the human gut microbiota: LUNU (lunularin) producers and LUNU non-producers. The LUNU-producer metabotype can sequentially dehydroxylate resveratrol to yield LUNU and 4-hydroxydibenzyl, while the LUNU non-producer metabotype lacks this ability. These metabolites were detected in the urine and (or) feces of the majority of volunteers, but around 26% lacked the corresponding enzyme activity. Both metabotypes possess a 4-styrylphenol reductase that converts resveratrol to its corresponding dibenzyl.

Ibrahim E. Sallam et al.

Summary: Tannins, a diverse group of polyphenols found in various plant families, especially cereals, fruits, and vegetables, have beneficial pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, anticancer, and cardioprotective properties. Microbiota-mediated hydrolysis of tannins generates highly bioaccessible metabolites, which contribute to the health effects associated with tannin consumption. Understanding the interactions between microbiota and tannins, as well as the metabolism and chemical motifs of tannin metabolites, is crucial for utilizing their biological effects for drug discovery and promoting health benefits.

Hydroxycinnamic acids on gut microbiota and health

William Leonard et al.

Summary: Hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs) are a major class of phenolic acids with a characteristic phenylpropanoid C-6-C-3 backbone. Despite being typically conjugated with plant cell wall components and liberated by limited enzymes, HCAs have been neglected by researchers compared to flavonoid-type polyphenols. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the interactions between polyphenols and gut microbiota, with significant progress in understanding the gut microbiota-modulating effect of HCA using animal model studies.
