Product Data
Biological target:
Quercitrin is a quercetin O-glycoside, quercetin substituted by a alpha-L-rhamnosyl moiety at position 3 via a glycosidic linkage. It has a role as an antioxidant, an antileishmanial agent, a carbonyl reductase (NADPH) inhibitor, an aldehyde reductase inhibitor, an tyrosinase inhibitor, and a plant metabolite.
In vitro activity:
Purified quercitrin inhibited the polymerisation of isolated HbS and stabilized sickle erythrocytes membranes in cell cultures with sickle cells. Metabolomic comparisons of blood samples using flow-infusion electrospray-high resolution mass spectrometry indicated that quercitrin could convert HbSS erythrocyte metabolomes to be like HbAA. Sickling was associated with changes in antioxidants, anaerobic bioenergy, and arachidonic acid metabolism, all of which were reversed by quercitrin. This points to the development of an anti-sickling drug or quality control assessments of A. cordifolia preparations.

In vivo activity:
Diets rich in quercitrin show a neuroprotective effect, and the objective of this study was to explore the effect and mechanism of quercitrin in the treatment of alzheimer's disease (AD). Quercitrin improved 5XFAD transgenic mice cognitive impairment through alleviating the intensity of inflammatory response and is a promising medicinal plant extract in the treatment of AD.
