The flavanones, a type of flavonoids, are various aromatic, colorless ketones derived from flavone that often occur in plants as glycosides.
List of flavanones Blumeatin Butin Dichamanetin Eriodictyol Eriocitrin Hesperetin Hesperidin Homoeriodictyol Isosakuranetin Kolaflavanone Naringenin Naringin Pinocembrin Poncirin Sakuranetin Sakuranin Sterubin Pinostrobin
Metabolism The enzyme chalcone isomerase uses a chalcone-like compound to produce a flavanone.
Flavanone 4-reductase is an enzyme that uses (2S)-flavan-4-ol and NADP+ to produce (2S)-flavanone, NADPH, and H+.
Synthesis Numerous methods exist for the enantioselective chemical and biochemical synthesis of flavanones and related compounds.
