Leucoanthocyanidin (flavan-3,4-diols) are colorless chemical compounds related to anthocyanidins and anthocyanins. Leucoanthocyanins can be found in Anadenanthera peregrina and in several species of Nepenthes including Nepenthes rajah, Nepenthes burbidgeae, Nepenthes tentaculata, Nepenthes × alisaputrana and Nepenthes muluensis.
Such compounds are :
- Leucocyanidin
- Leucodelphinidin
- Leucomalvidin
- Leucopelargonidin
- Leucopeonidin
- leucorobinetinidin
- Melacacidin
- Teracacidin from Acacia obtusifolia and Acacia maidenii heartwoods
Leucoanthocyanidins have been demonstrated to be intermediates in anthocyanidin biosynthesis in flowers of Matthiola incana.
Bate-smith recommended in 1954 the use of the Forestal solvent for the isolation of leuco-anthocyanins.
Metabolism
Leucoanthocyanidin dioxygenase uses flavan-3,4-diols to produce 3-hydroxyanthocyanidins. The gene encoding the enzyme (PpLDOX) has been identified in peach and expression has been studied in Vitis vinifera.
