Screening for inhibitors of 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases:
Flavanone 3b-hydroxylase and avonol synthase.
Bioavailability in humans of the
flavanones hesperidin and narirutin after the ingestion of two doses of orange juice.
Comparative study on the antibacterial activity of phytochemical
flavanones against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
In addition to basic structure of
flavanone,E-3 -arylidene
flavanone have an extended conjugation at C-3 with carbonyl group.
In the orange juice, hesperidin was the main
flavanone but in the murcott tangor the one found was narirutin.
Absolute stereostructures of two new
flavanone glycosides and a phenylbutanoid glycoside from the flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum L.
A new
flavanone isolated from Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae and the structural requirements of its derivatives for preventing immunological hepatocyte damage.
A rapid screening assay for inhibitors of 11[beta]-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (11[beta]-HSD):
flavanone selectively inhibits 11[beta]-HSD1 reductase activity.
They did so by measuring
flavanone content and antioxidant activity.
The other population is deficient in the activity of
flavanone 3-hydroxylase.
Hairy root cultures, roots transformed by Agrobacteriurn rhizogenes, have been useful in studying the regulation of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis, in particular the study of 3-hydroxy
flavanone reductase (flavan-3,4-diol or dihydroflavonol reductase) in Lotus corniculatus (Carron et al.
Concomitant induction of phenylalanine ammonialyase and
flavanone synthase mRNAs in irradiated plant cells.
