Flavanonol
Encyclopedia
The flavanonols are a class of flavonoid
s that use the 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-2-phenylchromen-4-one (IUPAC name) backbone.
Some examples include:
, a dihydroflavonol C-glucoside can be isolated from the leaves of Paepalanthus argenteus var. argenteus.
Dihydro-flavonol glycosides (astilbin
, neoastilbin, (2R, 3R)-taxifolin
-3'-O-beta-D-pyranglucoside) have been identified in the rhizome of Smilax glabra.
