Methyl Hesperidin
A long-term carcinogenicity study of methyl hesperidin, a compound of the vitamin P group, was carried out in B6C3F1 mice receiving dietary concentrations of 0, 1.25 or 5%. The results thus demonstrated that methyl hesperidin lacked any carcinogenicity for B6C3F1 mice in the 96-wk feeding regimen used in this study.
?PHARMACOLOGY?? Methyl-Hesperidin is a flavanone glycoside (flavonoid) found abundantly in citrus fruits. Its aglycone form is called hesperetin. Methyl Hesperidin belongs to vitamin analogues. It could be used to improve resistance of capillary vessel, for nose bleed, retinal hemorrhage, gingival and alveolar hemorrhage, gastrointestinal bleeding, bleeding hemorrhoids, as well as pre-operative or post-operative bleeding prevention and treatment.
