Laricitrin is an O-methylated flavonol, a type of flavonoid. It is found in red grape (absent in white grape) and in Vaccinium uliginosum (bog bilberries). It is one of the phenolic compounds present in wine.
Metabolism Laricitrin is formed from myricetin by the action of the enzyme myricetin O-methyltransferase.Syringetin biosynthesis pathway on metacyc.org It is further methylated by laricitrin 5'-O-methyltransferase into syringetin.
