Description
Prunetin, also known as padmakastein, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 7-o-methylisoflavones. These are isoflavones with methoxy groups attached to the C7 atom of the isoflavone backbone. Thus, prunetin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Prunetin exists as a solid and is considered to be practically insoluble (in water) and relatively neutral. Prunetin has been primarily detected in urine. Within the cell, prunetin is primarily located in the membrane (predicted from logP). Prunetin participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, prunetin can be biosynthesized from genistein. Prunetin can also be converted into prunetin 4'-O-glucoside. Prunetin is a bitter tasting compound that can be found in herbs and spices, prunus (cherry, plum), sour cherry, and tea.
