Metabolite Identification
Common NameHesperetin
DescriptionHesperetin, also known as (2S)-hesperetin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 4'-o-methylated flavonoids. These are flavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C4' atom of the flavonoid backbone. Thus, hesperetin is considered to be a flavonoid. Hesperetin is a drug which is used for lowering cholesterol and, possibly, otherwise favorably affecting lipids. in vitro research also suggests the possibility that hesperetin might have some anticancer effects and that it might have some anti-aromatase activity, as well as activity again. Hesperetin exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Hesperetin is a bitter tasting compound. Hesperetin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as limes (Citrus aurantiifolia), persian limes (Citrus latifolia), and sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis) and in a lower concentration in welsh onions (Allium fistulosum), mandarin orange (clementine, tangerine), and pummelos (Citrus maxima). Hesperetin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as red raspberries (Rubus idaeus), kiwis (Actinidia chinensis), garden onion (var.), common thymes (Thymus vulgaris), and cashew nuts (Anacardium occidentale). This could make hesperetin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Hesperetin.
