Aromadendrin


Aromadendrin is a flavanonol, a type of flavonoid. It can be found in the wood of Pinus sibirica.

Metabolism

The enzyme dihydrokaempferol 4-reductase uses cis-3,4-leucopelargonidin and NADP+ to produce -aromadendrin, NADPH, and H+.

Glycosides

-trans-Aromadendrin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside-6′′- is an acylated glucoside of aromadendrin isolated from the stem bark of Afzelia bella.
Phellamurin is the 8-prenyl 7-glucoside derivative of aromadendrin.

Chemistry

-Leucopelargonidin, -3,4,5,7,4'-pentahydroxyflavan, can be synthesized from -aromadendrin by sodium borohydride reduction.
