Hesperetin
Function
DrugBank ID:
Description:
Hesperetin belongs to the flavanone class of flavonoids. Hesperetin, in the form of its glycosidehesperidin, is the predominant flavonoid in lemons and oranges. [DrugBank]
Targets:
Sterol O-acyltransferase 1 (Humans); Sterol O-acyltransferase 2 (Humans); Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein large subunit (Humans); Sex hormone-binding globulin (Humans) [DrugBank]
Pharmacodynamics:
Hesperetin is a cholesterol lowering flavanoid found in a number of citrus juices. It appears to reduce cholesteryl ester mass and inhibit apoB secretion by up to 80%. Hesperetin may have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, hypolipidemic, vasoprotective and anticarcinogenic actions. [DrugBank]
