Natural Lemon Peel Extract Diosmetin: Antioxidant & Multifunctional Bioactive Compound
Harnessing Citrus Power for Health and Wellness
Product Overview
Diosmetin (CAS: 520-34-3) is a natural O-methylated flavone primarily derived from lemon peel (Citrus limon) and other citrus fruits . With a molecular formula of C₁₆H₁₂O₆ and purity ≥98% (HPLC), it appears as a light-yellow powder, soluble in DMSO, ethanol, and acetonitrile . This compound is celebrated for its diverse pharmacological activities, validated by extensive scientific research.
Key Benefits & Applications
1. Potent Antioxidant Activity
Diosmetin exhibits exceptional free radical scavenging capacity, surpassing vitamin C in neutralizing DPPH and ABTS radicals . Its antioxidant efficacy is quantified via the FRAP assay (Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma), a gold-standard method for measuring antioxidant power . Applications include:
- Dietary supplements to combat oxidative stress .
- Skincare formulations to protect against UV-induced skin aging and enhance collagen density .
2. Anti-Inflammatory & Anti-Cancer Properties
- Inhibits IL-1β-induced inflammation in chondrocytes, showing promise for osteoarthritis treatment .
- Suppresses tumor growth and angiogenesis in melanoma models by modulating CYP1A1/CYP1B1 enzymes and reducing ROS levels .
3. Cardioprotective & Diuretic Effects
- Protects myocardial cells from oxidative damage via activation of Nrf2/HO-1 pathways .
- Demonstrates dose-dependent diuretic activity in animal studies, comparable to furosemide, with minimal side effects .
4. Bone Health & Anti-Osteoporosis
- Regulates bone formation and mitigates subchondral bone loss in OA models .
