Abstract

1,2,3,4,6‐Penta‐O‐galloyl‐β‐D‐glucopyranose (PGG) is a polyphenolic compound found in substantial amounts in a number of medicinal herbs. We report (i) its conformational analysis by solution NMR and molecular dynamics calculation and (ii) theoretical study of its interaction with a model membrane bilayer. The galloyl groups B and E appear to play important roles in the interaction with the phospholipid bilayer. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
