Metabolite Identification
Common NameHesperetin
DescriptionHesperetin, also known as (2S)-hesperetin, 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. 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 exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Hesperetin.
