9 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
Polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) are almost exclusively found in the Citrus genus, particularly in the peels of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) and mandarin (C. reticulate Blanco). We studied the effects of two major PMFs, namely, nobiletin and 3,5,6,7,8,3',4'-heptamethoxyflavone (HMF), and two major monodemethylated PMFs, namely 5-hydroxy-3,7,8,3',4'-pentamethoxyflavone (5HPMF), and...
