Definition
ChEBI: Myrciacitrin II is a flavanone glycoside that is (2S)-flavanone substituted by methyl groups at positions 6 and 8, hydroxy groups at positions 5 and 2', a methoxy group at position 5' and a beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy residue at position 7. Isolated from the leaves of Myrcia multiflora, it exhibits inhibitory activity against alpha-glucosidase and aldose reductase. It has a role as an EC 3.2.1.20 (alpha-glucosidase) inhibitor, an EC 1.1.1.21 (aldehyde reductase) inhibitor and a plant metabolite. It is a beta-D-glucoside, a dihydroxyflavanone, a monomethoxyflavanone, a flavanone glycoside and a monosaccharide derivative.
