Pratol is an O-methylated flavone that can be found in Trifolium pratense and Caragana microphylla. It has been found to induce melanogenesis and stimulate tyrosinase activity in melanoma cells and may have potential as a tanning agent in the cosmetics industry. Pratol has also been investigated for potential anti-ischemic effects.
