Phloretin is a dihydrochalcone, a type of natural phenol. It can be found in apple tree leaves[1] and the Manchurian apricot.[2]

Metabolism

[edit]

In rats, ingested phlorizin is converted into phloretin by hydrolytic enzymes in the small intestine.[3][4] Phloretin hydrolase hydrolyses phloretin into phloretic acid and phloroglucinol.

Pharmacological research

[edit]

In an animal model, phloretin inhibited active transport of glucose into cells by SGLT1 and SGLT2, though the inhibition is weaker than by its glycoside phlorizin.[5] An important effect of this is the inhibition of glucose absorption by the small intestine[4] and the inhibition of renal glucose reabsorption.[3] Phloretin also inhibits a variety of urea transporters.[6][7] It induces urea loss and diuresis when coupled with high protein diets. Phloretin has been found to inhibit weight gain and improve metabolic homeostasis in mice fed with high-fat diet.[8] Phloretin inhibits aquaporin 9 (AQP9) on mouse hepatocytes.[9]

Nanoparticle Synthesis

[edit]

Phloretin functionalized gold-nanoparticles (Pht-GNPs) were synthesized using a single-step synthesis method and tested for its anticancer activity. Pht-GNPs showed significant cancer cell toxicities compared to free phloretin.[10]
