История

In 1960, Nair et al. isolated hyperin from redosier dogwood, in which its content is 0.075%. Flavonoids in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases play a pivotal role, among which rutin is a typical representative. Isoquetin mainly presents in the leaves of kumquat flowers and the oleander plant kenaf, and it can also be obtained by chemical synthesis. It shows an anti-inflammatory effect through the capillary permeability test and other animal experiments. It also has a toxic effect on the larvae of Chilohabala larvae. It is one of the active ingredients of Hypericum japonicum, which is used in the treatment of hepatitis because of its inhibition of the activities of hepatic enzyme.

Использование
