apigenin7Oglucoside

Apigenin 7-O-glucoside is a flavonoid glycoside, a type of flavonoid compound that is commonly found in plants. It is derived from apigenin, a flavonoid that belongs to the flavone subclass, and is characterized by its 7-O-glucoside linkage, where a glucose molecule is attached to the 7th carbon atom of the apigenin structure. This compound is often found in various plant species, including members of the Asteraceae family, such as chamomile and artichoke. Apigenin 7-O-glucoside has been studied for its potential health benefits, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. It is also known to have estrogenic activity, which may contribute to its potential benefits in hormone-related conditions. However, further research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential. The compound is typically isolated from plant sources through various extraction and purification methods.
