Isoorientin

Isoorientin (or homoorientin) is a flavone, a chemical flavonoid-like compound.

Bioassay-directed fractionation techniques led to isolation of isoorientin as the main hypoglycaemic component in Gentiana olivieri.

[1] Studies also showed that isoorientin is a potential neuroprotective compound against Alzheimer's disease.

[2] Isoorientin can be isolated from the passion flower, Vitex negundo, Terminalia myriocarpa, the Açaí palm and Swertia japonica.
