Dihydrowogonin is a naturally occurring flavonoid belonging to the flavanone subclass. It is characterized by a flavan backbone with hydroxyl and methoxy functional groups, contributing to its biological activity. The compound has attracted interest due to its potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties.

Dihydrowogonin has been identified as a major constituent in the methanol extract of Prunus avium (wild cherry) bark.[1] It has also been detected in other parts of the plant, such as leaves and stems.[citation needed]
