2,5-Dimethylchromone-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside

2,5-Dimethylchromone-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside is an orally active chromone glycoside found in the underground parts of Rheum australe. 2,5-Dimethylchromone-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside shows a DPPH radical scavenging activity with an IC50 value of 66.9 μM. 2,5-Dimethylchromone-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside scavenges free radicals by providing hydrogen atoms through phenolic hydroxyl groups, inhibiting lipid peroxidation. 2,5-Dimethylchromone-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside is promising for research of oxidative stress-related diseases such as inflammation and skin diseases[1].
