Metabolite Identification
Common NameApigenin
DescriptionApigenin, also known as chamomile or versulin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as flavones. These are flavonoids with a structure based on the backbone of 2-phenylchromen-4-one (2-phenyl-1-benzopyran-4-one). Thus, apigenin is considered to be a flavonoid. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Apigenin.
