Cyanidin-3-Glucoside Lipophilic Conjugates for Topical Application: Tuning the Antimicrobial Activities with Fatty Acid Chain Length

Background: Natural anthocyanins present a low solubility in lipophilic media, which compromises their effective application in lipophilic systems. In this work, cyanidin-3-<i>O</i>-glucoside (Cy3glc) was esterified by the addition of fatty acids with increasing chain-lengths and a struc...
