They confirm that resveratrol was more effective than flavonoids as a chelator of copper and less effective as a free-radical scavenger.
Evidence is provided that resveratrol is capable of binding to DNA, and that the Cu(2+)-dependent DNA damage is more likely caused by a copper-peroxide complex rather than by a freely diffusible oxygen species.
In particular, a different stability for the resveratrol radicals involved in the oxidative coupling has been obtained in the presence of copper ion, favoring the formation of δ-viniferin, as proposed for the in vivo mechanism where copper is able to switch the resveratrol from an antioxidant to a prooxidant agent.
Resveratrol appears to have anticancer effects.
Concentration of copper is reported to be elevated in various malignancies and the present studies might explain the reported anticancer activity of resveratrol in various cancer cell lines.
The nearly two-fold reduction in mortality with resveratrol-copper observed in our study needs to be confirmed in a randomized controlled trial.
