Ombuin Explained

Ombuin is an O-methylated flavonol, a type of flavonoid. It is the 4',7-O-methyl derivative of quercetin.

Ombuin can be found in species of the genus Erythroxylum. It can also be synthesized.[1] Ombuin 3-sulfate can be isolated from Flaveria chlorifolia.[2]

Glycosides

Ombuin-3-rutinoside can be isolated from Phytolacca dioica, the ombu tree.[3] Ombuin-3-O-rhamnosylglucoside can be found in Erythroxylum rufum.[4]
