Pinocembrin
CAS: 480-39-7
CAT: 6279
Abstract
Pinocembrin (CAS 480-39-7), also known as 5,7-dihydroxyflavanone or dihydrochrysin, is a natural flavanone. It occurs in many plants, including propolis, honey, and several botanical sources.
This bioactive flavonoid is well known for its strong antioxidant properties. Researchers have studied pinocembrin extensively for its potential benefits to human health. It shows promising antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects.
Pinocembrin plays a key role in the biological activity of propolis and honey extracts. Lab and preclinical studies show that it scavenges free radicals, modulates cellular pathways, and helps in models of metabolic and oxidative stress.
Pinocembrin acts as an important marker compound. It helps with the standardization and quality control of propolis, honey, and flavonoid-rich botanical extracts used in dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, and functional foods.
Planta Analytica supplies high-purity pinocembrin as an analytical reference standard. This product supports accurate quantification, method validation, and extract standardization in laboratories worldwide.
