| About the compound: | Taxifolin, also known
as dihydroquercetin, is structurally similar to the well-known flavonoid
quercetin, but has a saturated (not containing double bonds) C2-C3 bond in the
C-ring, classifying it as a flavanonol. (+)-taxifolin is a taxifolin that has
(2R,3R)-configuration. It has a role as a metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of
a (+)-taxifolin(1-). It is an enantiomer of a (-)-taxifolin. Taxifolin is found
in a variety of plants. Significant sources include onions, Douglas fir bark,
French maritime pine bark, and certain kinds of citrus fruits. Taxifolin
exhibits potent antioxidant activity, making it of interest for potential
protective effects against diseases linked to oxidative stress. Some studies
suggest taxifolin has anti-inflammatory properties, which can be beneficial in
conditions associated with inflammation. Anti-cancer: Preliminary research has
shown that taxifolin can inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells. Due to its
antioxidant properties, taxifolin can be used in skincare products to protect
the skin from oxidative damage. Safety
