Piceatannol (3,4,3′,5′-tetrahydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a phenolic. It is a metabolite of resveratrol, so its not surpising that it is found in red wine. LMP2A, a viral protein tyrosine kinase implicated in leukemia, Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and other diseases associated with Epstein-Barr Virus, were found to be blocked by picetannol in vitro, and a target for therapeutic anti-cancer and anti-EBV drugs.^[1]
