Pharmacological Action of Taxifolin: A Review
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2023, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Taxifolin is a potent plant flavonoid. The most sources of taxifolin include onions, tamarind seeds, French maritime bark and milk thistle and are also commercially available in semisynthetic forms. It was within the mid-1950s that scientists for the first time extracted and respected taxifolin, (dihydroquercetin) which is an analogue of quercetin or rutin but with somewhat different properties. It displays vitamin P activities, boosting vascular membranes and inflammatory reactions, reducing allergic and also has many properties not shared by the majority of other bioflavonoids. Taxifolin therefore exerts a much more potent antioxidant action than most flavonoids. The main pharmacological actions of taxifolin are antibacterial, antioxidative, antifungal, anticancer and even anti-inflammatory actions. Hence, an attempt was taken to review the therapeutics actions of taxifolin.
