The grape-fruit of a Vine plant contains a chemical called Resveratrol. Resveratrol is produced by the plant in response to an injury and protects it against fungi, bacteria and UV radiation.

Grape seed extract is sometimes taken as a food supplement to treat cardiovascular disease, poor circulation, diabetes-related eye conditions and high cholesterol and has activity against some types of cancer. Seedless grapes are popular as table grapes, but lose some of their possible medicinal benefits from their lack of seeds in comparison with the seeded grapes.

Some chemical compounds in grapes have shown potential for use in cancer treatment. These include the related compounds resveratrol and piceatannol. Both have a range of potential medicinal benefits including antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents as well as in the prevention and treatment of cancer. They occur in grape skins and, to a lesser extent, in their seeds.
