A review on the phytochemistry, pharmacology, and pharmacokinetics of amentoflavone, a naturally-occurring biflavonoid. Molecules 22 (2) : 299. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules22020299 | Abstract: | Amentoflavone (C30H18O10) is a well-known biflavonoid occurring in many natural plants. This polyphenolic compound has been discovered to have some important bioactivities, including anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, anti-diabetes, and anti-senescence effects on many important reactions in the cardiovascular and central nervous system, etc. Over 120 plants have been found to contain this bioactive component, such as Selaginellaceae, Cupressaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Podocarpaceae, and Calophyllaceae plant families. This review paper aims to profile amentoflavone on its plant sources, natural derivatives, pharmacology, and pharmacokinetics, and to highlight some existing issues and perspectives in the future. © 2017 by the authors; licensee MDPI. | Source Title: | Molecules | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/175234 | ISSN: | 1420-3049 | DOI: | 10.3390/molecules22020299 |
