Chrysin
Chrysin is a naturally occurring flavone, a type of flavonoid. It is found in honey, propolis, the passion flowers, Passiflora caerulea and Passiflora incarnata, and in Oroxylum indicum. It is also found in chamomile, in the mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus, and in honey and bee propolis.
Chemistry
Chrysin is a flavone, a type of phenolic compound that is found in various plants. It is a yellow compound that is soluble in ethanol, and can be produced from the hydrolysis of baicalein.
Biological effects
Chrysin has been studied for its effects on inflammation, cancer, and other diseases. It has been found to have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-oxidant effects in various studies. However, the bioavailability of chrysin is low due to its poor absorption and rapid metabolism, which limits its therapeutic use.
Pharmacology
Chrysin has been found to have anti-aromatase activity, which could potentially be useful in the treatment of conditions such as breast cancer and prostate cancer. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings and to determine the safety and efficacy of chrysin for these uses.
Safety
Chrysin is generally considered safe when consumed in the amounts found in foods. However, high doses of chrysin, such as those used in supplements, may have side effects and could potentially interact with certain medications.
