Isoorientin

Isoorientin (CAS 4261-42-1) is a water-soluble flavonoid C-glycoside that is commonly obtained from Passiflora incarnate (passionflower). It displays a wide range of biological properties, including antioxidant, antiaging, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammation, vasodilatation and cardioprotective, antinociceptive, radiation protective, neuroprotective, and antidepressant-like effects. Interestingly, orientin demonstrates pain relief in mice models. In fact, in a study it was significantly more potent than acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). Thus, orientin can be an alternative antinociceptive treatment to the patients.

The list of the most common alkaloids standards isolated from passionflower includes: isorhynchophylline, isomitraphylline, rhyncophylline, mitraphylline, orientin, and isoorientin. Find our entire collection of passionflower flavanoid reference standards here.
