Isoorientin (or homoorientin) is aflavone, a chemical flavonoid-like compound. It is the luteolin-6-C-glucoside.Bioassay-directed fractionation techniques led to isolation of isoorientin as the mainhypoglycaemic component inGentiana olivieri.[1] Studies also showed that isoorientin is a potentialneuroprotective compound againstAlzheimer's disease.[2]
Isoorientin can be isolated from thepassion flower,Vitex negundo,Terminalia myriocarpa, theAçaí palm andSwertia japonica.
