Chemistry:Flavanone
From HandWiki
Flavanone skeleton with locants
The flavanones, a type of flavonoids, are various aromatic, colorless ketones derived from flavone that often occur in plants as glycosides.[1][2]
List of flavanones
- Blumeatin
- Butin
- Eriodictyol
- Hesperetin
- Hesperidin
- Homoeriodictyol
- Isosakuranetin
- Naringenin
- Naringin
- Pinocembrin
- Poncirin
- Sakuranetin
- Sakuranin
- Sterubin
- Pinostrobin
Metabolism
The enzyme chalcone isomerase uses a chalcone-like compound to produce a flavanone.
Flavanone 4-reductase is an enzyme that uses (2S)-flavan-4-ol and NADP+ to produce (2S)-flavanone, NADPH, and H+.
Synthesis
Numerous methods exist for the enantioselective chemical and biochemical synthesis of flavanones and related compounds.[3]
