Gene Information

General description

6-Methoxyflavone is one of the methoxyflavone isolated form Pimelea decora. Synthesis of 6-methoxyflavone from p-dihydroxybenzene has been reported.

Application

6-Methoxyflavone may be employed in the following studies:
  • As internal standard for the analysis of polyphenolic content of in-vitro-cultured chestnut shoots.
  • Synthesis of biflavonoids, rac- and meso-6,6-dimethoxy-2,2-biflavanones.
  • As internal standard for the separation of phenolic compounds in the apricot tissue by HPLC.

The rising interest in beneficial health properties of polyphenol compounds in fruit initiated this investigation about biochemical composition in peach mesocarp/exocarp. Biochemical evaluation of phenolic compounds and ascorbic acid were quantified through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in relation to three
