Metabolite Identification
Common NameHesperetin
DescriptionHesperetin, also known as prestwick_908 or YSO2, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 4'-o-methylated flavonoids. These are flavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C4' atom of the flavonoid backbone. Thus, hesperetin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Hesperetin is a drug which is used for lowering cholesterol and, possibly, otherwise favorably affecting lipids. in vitro research also suggests the possibility that hesperetin might have some anticancer effects and that it might have some anti-aromatase activity, as well as activity again. Hesperetin is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Hesperetin exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Hesperetin is a bitter tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Hesperetin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as limes, persian limes, and sweet oranges and in a lower concentration in grape wines, lemons, and pummelo. Hesperetin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as kiwis, nectarines, pears, alliums, and rosemaries. This could make hesperetin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. A trihydroxyflavanone having the three hydroxy gropus located at the 3'-, 5- and 7-positions and an additional methoxy substituent at the 4'-position.
