Description:Phloridzin is a flavonoid glycoside, which is primarily sourced from apple trees and other members of the Rosaceae family. It is naturally found in the bark, roots, and other parts of the plant. The mode of action of phloridzin involves its function as an inhibitor of the sodium-glucose transporters (SGLT1 and SGLT2). By blocking these transporters, phloridzin prevents the reabsorption of glucose in the renal tubules, thus promoting the excretion of glucose through urine.
Phloridzin is predominantly used in scientific research focusing on diabetes and glucose metabolism. It serves as a tool to study glucose transport mechanisms and has been instrumental in the development of SGLT2 inhibitors, a class of antidiabetic drugs. Additionally, its antioxidant properties make phloridzin of interest in studies related to oxidative stress and its impact on cellular functions. Beyond these applications, phloridzin is also explored for its potential benefits in obesity research and botanical studies centered on its role and function within the Rosaceae family.
