Metabolite Identification
Common NameNaringenin
DescriptionNaringenin, also known as (2S)-naringenin or naringetol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as flavanones. Flavanones are compounds containing a flavan-3-one moiety, with a structure characterized by a 2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran bearing a ketone at the carbon C3. Thus, naringenin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Naringenin exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Naringenin exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
