Neohesperidin

Описание

Neohesperidin is a flavonoid found in citrus fruit peel that has diverse biological activities. In vitro, it inhibits osteoclast differentiation, bone resorption, calcium oscillations, and activation of NF-κB and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) by receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL). In vivo, neohesperidin administration protects ovariectomized mice from bone loss. Neohesperidin acts as a hypolipidemic agent, reducing lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells and reversing hyperlipidemia in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity. In a mouse model of diabetes, neohesperidin increases glucose tolerance and decreases insulin resistance while simultaneously decreasing serum triglycerides and total cholesterol and inhibiting lipid accumulation in livers in vivo.

Химические свойства

Использование

Neohesperidin can be used in cosmetic products and as a sweetening agent in food & beverages, an antioxidant flavanone glycoside

Определение

ChEBI: Neohesperidin is a flavanone glycoside that is hesperitin having an 2-O-(alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl moiety attached to the 7-hydroxy group. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent and a plant metabolite. It is a neohesperidoside, a disaccharide derivative, a dihydroxyflavanone, a member of 3'-hydroxyflavanones, a monomethoxyflavanone, a flavanone glycoside and a member of 4'-methoxyflavanones. It is functionally related to a hesperetin.
