Definition

ChEBI: Eupatorin is a trimethoxyflavone that is 6-hydroxyluteolin in which the phenolic hydogens at positions 4', 6 and 7 have been replaced by methyl groups. It has a role as a Brassica napus metabolite, an apoptosis inducer, a vasodilator agent, a calcium channel blocker, an anti-inflammatory agent, a P450 inhibitor and an antineoplastic agent. It is a dihydroxyflavone, a trimethoxyflavone and a polyphenol. It is functionally related to a 6-hydroxyluteolin.
