This Brief presents comprehensive coverage of anthocyanins. The text covers the scientific
literature and clinical significance of this Flavonoid sub-group  with a special focus on their
therapeutic aspects. In focusing on secondary metabolites in plants  this work aims to cover
the resulting therapeutic potential for humans by referencing the numerous herbal-derived
substances which have been evaluated and the rapidly growing data on the interactions of
anthocyanins with the microbiome. Anthocyanins and Human Health: Biomolecular and therapeutic
aspects covers all angles of biomolecular  in vitro and in vivo anthocyanins from their general
chemical structure to their use as a coloring agent. The intake  metabolism and secretion of
anthocyanins in the human body are covered in-depth  as are the biosynthetic pathways through
which these compounds are synthesized in the natural system. Factors affecting stability and
extraction are listed  and health related uses and biological activities are covered in great
