Chemistry:Isorhamnetin
Isorhamnetin is an O-methylated flavon-ol from the class of flavonoids. A common food source of this 3'-methoxylated derivative of quercetin and its glucoside conjugates are pungent yellow or red onions, in which it is a minor pigment, quercetin-3,4'-diglucoside and quercetin-4'-glucoside and the aglycone quercetin being the major pigments.[1] Pears, olive oil, wine and tomato sauce are rich in isorhamnetin.[2] Almond skin is a rich source of isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside and isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside, in some cultivars they comprise 75% of the polyphenol content, the total of which can exceed 10 mg/100 gram almond.[3] Others sources include the spice, herbal medicinal[4] and psychoactive Mexican tarragon (Tagetes lucida), which is described as accumulating isorhamnetin and its 7-O-glucoside derivate.[5] Nopal (Opuntia ficus-indica (L.)) is also a good source of isorhamnetin, which can be extracted by supercritical fluid extraction assisted by enzymes.[6]
Biosynthesis and metabolism
The enzyme luteolin O-methyltransferase uses S-adenosyl methionine to methylate the flavanol, quercetin, giving isorhamnetin.[7][8]
The enzyme 3-methylquercetin 7-O-methyltransferase further methylates isorhamnetin to produce rhamnazin.[9]
Isorhamnetin is an inhibitor of CYP1B1.[10]
