Hesperidin is a flavanone glycoside found abundantly in citrus fruits. Its aglycone form is called hesperetin. Its name is derived from the Hesperides nymphs of Greek mythology. Hesperidin is believed to play a role in plant defense. It acts as an antioxidant according to in vitro studies.[1]

Various preliminary studies reveal novel pharmaceutical properties, none of which has been confirmed as applicable to humans. Hesperidin reduced cholesterol[2] and blood pressure[3] in rats. In a mouse study, large doses of hesperidin decreased bone density loss.[4] Another animal study showed protective effects against sepsis.[5] In vitro and in laboratory research, hesperidin has anti-inflammatory effects.[6][7] Hesperidin is also a potential sedative, possibly acting through opioid or adenosine receptors.[8][9]Hesperidin exhibited pronounced anticancer activity against some selected human carcinoma cell lines.[10]

Some in vitro results applied only to the aglycone form. Hesperidin also showed potential to penetrate the blood-brain barrier in an in vitro model.[11]
