Isoquercetin

Chemical compound


Isoquercetin, isoquercitrin or isotrifoliin[1] is a flavonoid, a type of chemical compound. It is the 3-O-glucoside of quercetin. Isoquercitrin can be isolated from various plant species including Mangifera indica (mango)[2] and Rheum nobile (the Noble rhubarb). It is also present in the leaves of Annona squamosa, Camellia sinensis (tea).[3][4] and Vestia foetida[5]

The lambda-max for isoquercetin is 254.8 and 352.6 nm.

Potential clinical uses

Isoquercetin is presently being investigated for prevention of thromboembolism in selected cancer patients[6] and as an anti-fatigue agent in kidney cancer patients treated with sunitinib.[7]

There is a single case report of its use in the successful treatment of prurigo nodularis, a difficult to treat pruritic eruption of the skin.[8]

However it belongs to the PAINS (Pan-assay interference compounds) categories of chemicals.[9]
