Index Acacetin

Acacetin is a 4′-''O''-methylated flavone of the parent compound apigenin, found in Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust), Turnera diffusa (damiana), Betula pendula (silver birch), and in the fern Asplenium normale.[1]

Apigenin

Apigenin (4′,5,7-trihydroxyflavone), found in many plants, is a natural product belonging to the flavone class that is the aglycone of several naturally occurring glycosides. Acacetin and Apigenin are Aromatase inhibitors.

Apigenin 4'-O-methyltransferase

In enzymology, an apigenin 4'-O-methyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and 5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavone (apigenin), whereas its two products are S-adenosylhomocysteine and 4'-methoxy-5,7-dihydroxyflavone (acacetin).

Betula pendula

Betula pendula, commonly known as silver birch, warty birch, European white birch, or East Asian white birch, is a species of tree in the family Betulaceae, native to Europe and parts of Asia, though in southern Europe, it is only found at higher altitudes.

Genkwanin

Genkwanin is an O-methylated flavone, a type of flavonoid. Acacetin and Genkwanin are Aromatic compound stubs and o-methylated flavones.

O-methylated flavonoid

The O-methylated flavonoids or methoxyflavonoids are flavonoids with methylations on hydroxyl groups (methoxy bonds).

Robinia pseudoacacia

Robinia pseudoacacia, commonly known in its native territory as black locust, is a medium-sized hardwood deciduous tree, belonging to the tribe Robinieae of the legume family Fabaceae.

S-Adenosyl methionine

S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM), also known under the commercial names of SAMe, SAM-e, or AdoMet, is a common cosubstrate involved in methyl group transfers, transsulfuration, and aminopropylation.

S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine

S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) is the biosynthetic precursor to homocysteine.
