Common NameEupatilin
DescriptionEupatilin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 6-o-methylated flavonoids. These are flavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C6 atom of the flavonoid backbone. Thus, eupatilin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Eupatilin is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Outside of the human body, Eupatilin has been detected, but not quantified in, herbs and spices and mandarin orange (clementine, tangerine). This could make eupatilin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Eupatilin is found in Achillea setacea, Ageratina calophylla, Artemisia argyi, Artemisia austriaca, Artemisia dubia, Artemisia fragrans, Artemisia frigida, Artemisia giraldii, Artemisia judaica, Artemisia leucodes, Artemisia ludoviciana, Artemisia ludoviciana var. mexicana, Artemisia mongolica, Artemisia monosperma, Artemisia nitida, Artemisia oliveriana, Artemisia porrecta, Artemisia princeps, Artemisia roxburghiana, Artemisia rubripes, Artemisia umbelliformis, Artemisia verlotiorum, Artemisia vulgaris , Baccharis gaudichaudiana, Baccharis gaudichaudiana DC, Centaurea arenaria, Centaurea cineraria, Centaurea cuneifolia, Centaurea sulphurea, Centaurea tougourensis, Chromolaena odorata, Chrysanthemum indicum , Eriocephalus punctulatus, Eupatorium capillifolium, Eupatorium semiserratum, Layia hieracioides, Monoclea gottschei, Ononis vaginalis, Inula britannica , Phyla dulcis, Psilostrophe cooperi, Salvia cardiophylla, Salvia limbata, Salvia palaestina, Salvia sclarea , Salvia tomentosa, Salvia sylvestris, Sideritis gomeraea, Sideritis tomentosa, Tanacetum polycephalum, Tanacetum vulgare , Teucrium divaricatum, Veratrum dahuricum, Veronica officinalis , Veronica orchidea and Veronica teucrium. Eupatilin was first documented in 2004 (PMID: 15313404). Isolated from Citrus reticulata and Salvia tomentosa, it exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer and antineoplastic activities (PMID: 17404061) (PMID: 19663482) (PMID: 23118554) (PMID: 23292941) (PMID: 19565564).
