Phlorizin, or phloretin-2'-β-D-glucopyranoside, also referred to as phloridzin and other names [1] is a glucoside of phloretin, a dihydrochalcone, a family of bicyclic flavonoids, which in turn is a subgroup in the diverse phenylpropanoid synthesis pathway in plants.

Occurrence[edit]

Phlorizin, or phloridzin is a naturally occurring flavonoid produced in some plants. It is found primarily in Malus (apple) species although trace amounts exist in other species. In Malus it is most abundant in vegetative tissues (leaves, bark, etc...) and seeds. Closely related species, such as pear (Pyrus communis), cherry and other fruit trees in the Rosaceae do not contain phloridzin.[2] Trace amounts have been reported in strawberry [3] and it is responsible for the petal color in Dianthus caryophyllus.[4] Phloridzin, a phytocemical belongs to a class of polyphenols. It may be present with other polyphenols such as quercetin, catechin, epicatechin, procynidins, rutin etc. These polyhydroxy compounds have been proved to be potent antioxidants.[5]

Properties[edit]

Phlorizin is a white to yellow crystalline solid with a melting point of 106–109 °C. It is of sweet taste and contains four molecules of water in the crystal. Above 200 °C, it decomposes. It is poorly soluble in ether and cold water, but soluble in ethanol and hot water. Upon prolonged exposure to aqueous solutions phlorizin hydrolyzes to phloretin and glucose.

Pharmacology[edit]

Phlorizin is a competitive inhibitor of SGLT1 and SGLT2 because it competes with D-glucose for binding to the carrier; this reduces renal glucose transport, lowering the amount of glucose in the blood.[6][7] Phlorizin was studied as a potential pharmaceutical treatment for type 2 diabetes, but has since been superseded by more selective and more promising synthetic analogs, such as canagliflozin and dapagliflozin.[8][9] Orally consumed phlorizin is nearly entirely converted into phloretin by hydrolytic enzymes in the small intestine.[10][11] Apart from conventional anti-diabetic activity, phlorizin is also studied for its antioxidant activity.[12]
