Chrysin, also called 5,7-dihydroxyflavone, [1] is a flavone found in honey, propolis, the passion flowers, Passiflora caerulea and Passiflora incarnata , and in Oroxylum indicum . [2] It is extracted from various plants, such as the blue passion flower (Passiflora caerulea). [1] Following oral intake by humans, chrysin has low bioavailability and rapid excretion. [1] It is under basic research to evaluate its safety and potential biological effects. [1]

Contents

Chrysin is an ingredient in dietary supplements. [3] As of 2016, there was no clinical use of chrysin, [1] and no evidence for its effect on testosterone levels. [4] In 2016, the US Food and Drug Administration did not recommend chrysin be included on the list of bulk drug substances that can be used in compounding under section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. [5]

Occurrence

A component in various medicinal plants (e.g. Scutellaria baicalensis ), chrysin is a dihydroxyflavone, a type of flavonoid. [6] It is also found in honey, propolis, the passion flowers, Passiflora caerulea and Passiflora incarnata , in Oroxylum indicum , [2] carrots, [1] chamomile, [7] many fruits, and in mushrooms, such as the mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus . [6] It is extracted from various plants, [1] such as the blue passion flower (Passiflora caerulea). [1]

The amount of chrysin in honey from various plant sources is about 0.2 mg per 100 g. [8] Chrysin is typically found at higher amounts in propolis than in honey. [9] A 2010 study found the amount of chrysin was 0.10 mg/kg in honeydew honey, and 5.3 mg/kg in forest honeys. [10] A 2010 study found the amount of chrysin in propolis was as much as 28 g/L. [10] A 2013 study found the amount of chrysin in various mushrooms from the island of Lesvos, Greece, varied between 0.17 mg/kg in Lactarius deliciosus to 0.34 mg/kg in Suillus bellinii . [10]

Bioavailability

The effects of chrysin are reliant on its bioavailability and solubility. [10] Following oral intake by humans, chrysin has low bioavailability and rapid excretion. [1] As a result, it is poorly absorbed. [1]

A 1998 study determined that the highest amounts in plasma was from 12 to 64 nM. [10] As of 2015, the serum levels of chrysin have not been cited in the literature. [10] Following oral intake by humans, the bioavailability was reported to be from 0.003% to 0.02%. [10]

Oral and topical application

There is insufficient information to determine how long chrysin has been used in pharmacy compounding. [11] Chrysin is used as an ingredient in dietary supplements, but there is no information on systemic exposure from topical application. [3] As of 2016, there was no evidence to support any effect of oral chrysin on testosterone levels, [4] or an any disease-modifying activity with oral or topical formulations. [12]

Safety

A daily consumed amount of chrysin of 0.5 to 3 g is considered safe. [6] As of 2016, there was no toxicity attributable to chrysin in clinical trials or adverse event reporting. [13] As of 2016, clinical safety issues have not been identified. [14] As of 2016, nonclinical data suggest potential concerns. [14] In 2016, the US Food and Drug Administration did not recommend chrysin be included on the list of bulk drug substances that can be used in compounding under section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act based on consideration of the following criteria: (1) physicochemical characterization; (2) safety; (3) effectiveness; and (4) historical use of the substance in compounding. [5]

Research

As of 2016, there is no evidence for chrysin being used in human clinical applications. [1] Research showed that orally administered chrysin does not have clinical activity as an aromatase inhibitor. [1] [15] Nanoformulations of polyphenols, including chrysin, are made using various carrier methods, such as liposomes and nanocapsules. [16]

Deramciclane (EGIS-3886) is a non-benzodiazepine-type anxiolytic drug to treat various types of anxiety disorders. Deramciclane is a unique alternative to current anxiolytics on the market because it has a novel chemical structure and target. It acts as an antagonist at the 5-HT2A receptor, as an inverse agonist at the 5-HT2C receptor, and as a GABA reuptake inhibitor. The two serotonin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors and are two of the main excitatory serotonin receptor types. Their excitation has been implicated in anxiety and mood. Deramciclane does not affect CYP3A4 activity in metabolizing other drugs, but it is a weak inhibitor of CYP2D6. Some studies also show the drug to have moderate affinity to dopamine D2 receptors and low affinity to dopamine receptor D1. Researchers are looking for alternatives to benzodiazepines for anxiolytic use because benzodiazepine drugs have sedative and muscle relaxant side effects.
