Common NameSinensetin
DescriptionSinensetin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 7-o-methylated flavonoids. These are flavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C7 atom of the flavonoid backbone. Thus, sinensetin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Sinensetin is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Sinensetin is a bitter tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Sinensetin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within sweet oranges. Sinensetin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as citrus, grapefruits, mandarin orange (clementine, tangerine), and rosemaries. This could make sinensetin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Sinensetin is found in Ageratina conyzoides, Ageratum conyzoides , Bauhinia championii , Chenopodium botrys , Chenopodium championii, Chromolaena odorata , Citrus auranthium, Citrus aurantium , Citrus grandis var.tomentosa , Citrus hassaku, Citrus japonica, Citrus kinokuni, Citrus leiocarpa, Citrus maxima, Citrus sinensis, Citrus tangerina , Citrus tankan, Clerodendranthus spicatus, Conoclinium coelestinum, Kickxia spuria, Murraya exotica, Murraya paniculata , Orthosiphon aristatus , Orthosiphon spicatus and Orthosiphon stamineus . Sinensetin was first documented in 2013 (PMID: 22438091). A pentamethoxyflavone that is flavone substituted by methoxy groups at positions 5, 6, 7, 3' and 4' respectively (PMID: 25735898).
