isosakuranetin

Isosakuranetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid. It is a derivative of apigenin and sakuranetin. Isosakuranetin has been identified in various plant species, including those belonging to the Rutaceae family, such as citrus fruits. Chemically, it is a methoxylated flavone.

Research has explored the potential biological activities of isosakuranetin. Studies suggest it may possess antioxidant properties, helping to combat oxidative stress within cells. Additionally, some investigations have indicated potential anti-inflammatory effects, though further research is needed to fully elucidate these mechanisms and their significance in biological systems. Its presence in edible plants like citrus has also led to interest in its dietary intake and associated health implications. The precise role and metabolic fate of isosakuranetin in humans are areas of ongoing scientific inquiry.
