Pelargonidin 3-O-glucoside is an anthocyanin and the 3-O-glucoside of pelargonidin that has been found in Fragaria and has transporter inhibitory and antioxidant properties.1,2 It inhibits bilitranslocase transporter activity in isolated rat liver plasma membrane vesicles (Ki = 2.8 µM).1 Pelargonidin 3-O-glucoside scavenges peroxyl radicals in an oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay.2
