| About the compound: | Naringenin is a flavonoid known for its beneficial health effects, particularly in the context of lipid metabolism and hormonal activities: Sources and Dietary Occurrence: Naringenin is primarily found in fruits such as oranges and tomatoes. These fruits contain high amounts of this compound. Health Benefits: Naringenin is known for its ability to control body lipids. It possesses hypocholesterolemic and hypolipidemic effects, meaning it can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce lipid content in the body. It also exhibits anti-estrogenic activities, which could have implications in hormonal balance and related health conditions. Specific Isomer: (S)-Naringenin: (S)-Naringenin is the (S)-enantiomer of naringenin, indicating a specific spatial arrangement in its molecular structure. It functions as an expectorant, aiding in the clearance of mucus from the airways, and is also a natural plant metabolite. This specific isomer is a type of naringenin and a (2S)-flavan-4-one, and is the conjugate acid of a (S)-naringenin(1-). It exists as an enantiomer to (R)-naringenin, differing in the spatial orientation of atoms. Naringenin, including its specific isomers like (S)-naringenin, showcases the diverse biological activities and health benefits of flavonoids, underlining the importance of these compounds in nutrition and potential therapeutic applications.
