Diosmetin

Description:

Diosmetin is a flavonoid compound belonging to the flavone class, characterized by its chemical structure that includes a chromone backbone with hydroxyl groups. It is commonly found in various plants, particularly in citrus fruits, and is known for its potential health benefits, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Diosmetin exhibits a yellowish color and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its molecular formula is C16H12O5, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 284.26 g/mol. Diosmetin is often studied for its role in traditional medicine and its potential applications in nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it has been investigated for its ability to modulate various biological pathways, making it a subject of interest in research related to chronic diseases. As with many flavonoids, diosmetin's bioavailability and efficacy can be influenced by factors such as dietary intake and metabolic processes.

Diosmetin

CAS: 520-34-3

Diosmetin is a flavonoid compound, which is derived from natural sources such as citrus fruits and certain herbs. As an aglycone of the flavonoid glycoside diosmin, it is primarily sourced through the metabolic transformation of diosmin in the body. Diosmetin functions through modulation of oxidative stress pathways and inhibition of pro-inflammatory enzymes. Its biochemical activity includes scavenging free radicals and reducing the activity of certain inflammatory mediators, which contributes to its potential therapeutic effects.
