Isoorientin (homoorientin) is a flavone, a chemical flavonoid-like compound. It is the luteolin-6-C-glucoside.
Isoorientin can be isolated from the passion flower, [1] Vitex negundo , [2] Terminalia myriocarpa , the Açaí palm, and Swertia japonica .
Isoorientin has been studied for its potential pharmacological activity. [3] Bioassay-directed fractionation techniques led to isolation of isoorientin as the main hypoglycaemic component in Gentiana olivieri . [4] Studies also showed that isoorientin is a potential neuroprotective compound against Alzheimer's disease. [5]
