CAS 479-90-3: Artemetin
Description:Artemetin, with the CAS number 479-90-3, is a natural compound classified as a flavonoid, specifically a flavone. It is primarily derived from various plant sources, including species of the genus Artemisia, which are known for their medicinal properties. Artemetin exhibits a range of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential anticancer effects. Its structure features a chromone backbone, which is characteristic of flavonoids, contributing to its ability to scavenge free radicals and modulate various biochemical pathways. The compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water, which can affect its bioavailability. Artemetin's pharmacological properties have garnered interest in the field of natural product research, particularly for its potential therapeutic applications. However, further studies are needed to fully elucidate its mechanisms of action and efficacy in clinical settings. As with many natural compounds, the extraction and purification processes can influence its stability and activity, making standardization important for research and potential therapeutic use.
