Hesperetin is the 4'-methoxy derivative of eriodictyol, a flavanone.[1] The 7-O-glycoside of hesperetin, hesperidin, is a naturally occurring flavanone-glycoside, the main flavonoid in grapefruits, lemons, and sweet oranges.[1][2]

Glycosides

[edit]

Various glycosides of hesperetin are known, including hesperidin (hesperetin-7-O-rutinoside), a water-insoluble flavonoid glycoside with low water solubility,[3] Hesperidin is found in citrus fruits and upon ingestion it releases its aglycone, hesperetin. Neohesperidin is the 7-O-neohesperidoside of hesperetin.

Metabolism

[edit]

Hesperidin 6-O-α-L-rhamnosyl-β-D-glucosidase is an enzyme that uses hesperidin and H2O to produce hesperetin and rutinose.[1] Upon digestion in the gastrointestinal tract, hesperetin – as for all flavonoids – is rapidly metabolized in intestinal and liver cells, releasing smaller metabolites into the blood and urine for excretion.[1] The biological effects of such metabolites in vivo are unknown.

Laboratory research

[edit]

In vitro, hesperetin may affect the slow inactivation phase of inward sodium current channels, and therefore could be used as a template to develop drugs against cardiac arrhythmias.[4] Hesperetin also inhibits TRPM3 channels in vitro.[5]
