261776-60-7 - Introduction
6-Methyl-8-prenylnaringenin is a natural product often referred to as 6-M8PN. It belongs to flavonoids, molecular formula is C21H22O5, molecular weight of 354.4g/mol. Its chemical structure contains a methyl group and a pregnant allyl group.
6-methyll-8-prenylnaringenin is mainly found in hops (Humulus lupulus), so it is widely used in beer brewing process. It has estrogenic activity and is a unique natural estrogen that binds to estrogen receptors and activates them. Therefore, 6-Methyl-8-prenylnaringenin is studied in the field of medicine and health care products to relieve menopausal symptoms, promote bone density increase, regulate estrogen balance and so on.
The method of preparing 6-methyll-8-prenylnaringenin is mainly extracted from hops. First, hops are ground to a powder and the active ingredient is extracted with a suitable solvent. Then, the extract was filtered and concentrated, and finally purified by crystallization to obtain 6-Methyl-8-prenylnaringenin.
In terms of safety, 6-Methyl-8-prenylnaringenin is considered a relatively safe substance. However, previous studies have shown that the use of higher doses may be associated with some adverse effects, such as effects on uterine and breast tissue. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to proper dosage control during use and follow relevant safe use recommendations.
In General, 6-Methyl-8-prenylnaringenin has a wide range of applications as a natural estrogen, but further research is still needed to understand its applicability and potential risks.
