Isosakuranetin
Chemical compound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isosakuranetin, an O-methylated flavonoid, is the 4'-methoxy derivative of naringenin, a flavanone. Didymin, a disaccharide of isosakuranetin, occurs e.g. in scarlet beebalm, sweet orange, blood orange and mandarin.[2] Isosakuranetin is a potent inhibitor of TRPM3 channels.[3]

Biosynthesis
In soybean, isosakuranetin is biosynthesised from naringenin in a methylation reaction catalysed by the enzyme flavonoid 4'-O-methyltransferase.[1] The methyl group comes from the cofactor, S-adenosyl methionine (SAM)
