Metabolism

[edit | edit source]

The enzyme chalcone isomerase uses a chalcone-like compound to produce a flavanone.

Flavanone 4-reductase is an enzyme that uses (2S)-flavan-4-ol and NADP+ to produce (2S)-flavanone, NADPH, and H+.

Synthesis

[edit | edit source]

Numerous methods exist for the enantioselective chemical and biochemical synthesis of flavanones and related compounds.[3]
