Isariin C | CAS 80111-96-2 | Flavonoid Glycoside for Antioxidant, Angiogenesis, and Insecticidal Research
Product Description
Isariin C is a naturally derived flavonoid glycoside isolated from fungal and plant sources, belonging to the large class of phenolic secondary metabolites. Structurally, it consists of a flavone backbone conjugated to a sugar moiety, typically glucose, which enhances solubility and biological stability. This compound has drawn scientific attention for its multifunctional bioactivities — particularly antioxidant, angiogenic, and insecticidal effects — making it an important biochemical tool in redox biology, vascular development, and ecological defense studies.
Structural Characteristics
As a glycosylated flavonoid, Isariin C features a core flavone structure containing hydroxyl substituents capable of donating hydrogen atoms or electrons to neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS). The glycosidic linkage, generally attached at the 7- or 3-position, contributes to enhanced water solubility and stability in biological systems. Such conjugation facilitates membrane transport, enzymatic recognition, and controlled bioavailability during experimental applications.
Natural Occurrence and Biological Source
Isariin C is primarily isolated from fungi of the Isaria genus — a group of entomopathogenic fungi known for producing bioactive metabolites that regulate oxidative stress and target insect physiology.
