Ononetin is a natural product from the deoxybenzoin group, which is found in the Russian traditional medicine plant Ononis spinosa . It acts as an inhibitor of the transient receptor potential ion channel TRPM3 and has analgesic effects in animal studies, [1] [2] as well as being used for research into the role of TRPM3 in the immune system dysfunction associated with chronic fatigue syndrome. [3] [4]
