Parsonsin

Parsonsin is a chemical compound. Its chemical formula is C20H26O10. It belongs to the class of compounds known as flavonoids, specifically a glycosylated flavone. Parsonsin has been isolated from the plant species *Parsonsia straminea*. This plant is a native vine found in eastern Australia. The isolation and identification of parsonsin were significant in understanding the phytochemical constituents of this botanical species. Research has explored its potential biological activities, although such investigations are often in early stages and require further validation. The compound's structure features a flavone backbone with attached sugar moieties, which influences its solubility and biological interactions. The presence of parsonsin contributes to the overall chemical profile of *Parsonsia straminea*, which has also been traditionally used in some folk medicine practices.
