A systematic synthesis of four natural epicatechin series procyanidin trimers {[4,8:4″,8″]-2,3-cis-3,4-trans: 2″,3″-cis- 3″,4″-trans: 2′?,3′?-trans-(-)-epi- catechin-(-)-epicatechin-(+)-catechin, [4,8:4″,8″]-2,3-cis-3,4- trans: 2″,3″-cis-3″,4″-trans: 2′?, 3′?-cis-tri-(-)-epicatechin: procyanidin C1, [4,8:4″, 8″]-2,3-cis-3,4-trans: 2″,3″-trans-3″,4″-trans: 2′?,3′?-trans-(-)-epicatechin-(+)-catechin-(+) -catechin: procyanidin C4, and [4,8:4″,8″]-2,3-cis-3,4-trans: 2″,3″-trans-3″,4″-trans: 2′?, 3′?-cis-(-)-epicatechin-(+)-catechin-(-)-epicatechin} is described. Condensation of (2R,3R,4S)-5,7,3′4′-tetra-O-benzyl-4-(2″- ethoxyethyloxy)flavan derived from (-)-epicatechin as an electrophile with the dimeric nucleophiles in the presence of TMSOTf followed by deprotection yielded trimers. Inhibitory activities on the Maillard reaction and antioxidant activity on lipid peroxide of the synthesized oligomers were also investigated.

Epicatechin dimers were synthesized by zinc(II) triflate mediated self-condensation reactions of epicatechin monomer derivatives. One synthesized dimer was successfully converted into procyanidin C1.

The invention relates to compositions, such as pharmaceuticals, foods, food additives, or dietary supplements, containing dimer digallates, and methods of use thereof, for prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of a human or a veterinary animal to treat or prevent NO-responsive health conditions, treat hypertension, cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disease, diabetes, cognitive dysfunction or disorder and/or vascular circulation disorders, prevent or reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, congestive heart failure and/or kidney failure, or to improve blood flow, for example renal blood flow. The composition may optionally contain an additional NO modulating agent and/or a vascular-protective or therapeutic agent, or may be administered in combination with such an agent.
