Prunetin is anO-methylated isoflavone, a type of flavonoid. It has been isolated for the first time by Finnemore in 1910 in the bark ofPrunus emarginata (the Oregon cherry).[1] Prunetin isolated frompea roots can act as an attractant forAphanomyces euteicheszoospores.[2] It is also an allosteric inhibitor of human liveraldehyde dehydrogenase.[3]
Prunetin can lower blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats and relax isolated rat aortic rings through calcium channel block mechanisms in vessel smooth muscles.[4]
